Pandas is a powerful data manipulation and analysis library in Python, providing data structures and operations for manipulating numerical tables and time series. It is widely used for data manipulation due to its ease of use and extensive functionality.

For Node.js, there are several libraries that offer similar functionalities to Pandas. One such library is PandasJS, which is built on TensorFlow.js and supports tensors out of the box, allowing for groupby, merging, joining, and plotting operations. Another option is Data-Forge, a library inspired by LINQ and Pandas, designed to handle data wrangling tasks efficiently. Additionally, D3.js, although primarily a visualization library, also offers data manipulation capabilities that can be useful for data analysis tasks.13

These libraries provide robust solutions for handling and analyzing data within JavaScript applications, offering features comparable to Pandas in Python.3

For the most up-to-date and actively maintained options, you might want to consider Polars JS, which is noted for being even better than Pandas in Python.
