# Groggy Release v0.3.0 - GraphArray Analytics & API Consistency Revolution

## ✅ **LATEST ACHIEVEMENTS (August 15, 2025)**

### 🎯 **MAJOR ARCHITECTURAL BREAKTHROUGH - Lazy Rust View System**
```python
# ALL data structures are now lazy Rust views until materialized:

# 1. Arrays: node_ids/edge_ids return GraphArray (not lists)
node_ids = g.node_ids                        # GraphArray([0, 1, 2, 3]) 
print(node_ids.mean())                       # Statistical operations work!
raw_list = node_ids.values                  # [0, 1, 2, 3] when needed

# 2. Matrices: multi-column returns GraphMatrix (not list of arrays)
matrix = g.nodes[:][['age', 'dept']]         # GraphMatrix(4x2)
ages = matrix['age']                         # GraphArray column
df = matrix.to_pandas()                      # Scientific conversions

# 3. Tables: GraphTable with lazy column access  
table = g.table()
column = table['age']                        # GraphArray with statistics
```

### 🎯 **Simple Adjacency Matrix API - COMPLETED**
```python
# Full graph adjacency
adj = g.adjacency_matrix()                    # AdjacencyMatrix(4x4) 
print(adj[0, 1])                             # Edge between nodes 0,1
print(adj.shape())                           # (4, 4)

# Subgraph adjacency - SAME API!
subgraph = g.filter_nodes('age > 25')        
sub_adj = subgraph.adjacency_matrix()        # AdjacencyMatrix(3x3) - compact!
print(sub_adj[0, 1])                         # Edge in compact subgraph indices  
print(sub_adj.shape())                       # (3, 3) - only subgraph nodes

# Weighted matrices
weighted = g.weighted_adjacency_matrix('weight')
sub_weighted = subgraph.weighted_adjacency_matrix('weight')

# Laplacian matrices  
laplacian = g.laplacian_matrix()
```

### 🎯 **GraphMatrix - Structured Multi-Column Data**
```python
# Multi-column selection returns GraphMatrix (not list of GraphArrays)
result = g.nodes[:][['id','index']]  
print(result)  # GraphMatrix(shape=(100, 2), columns=["id", "index"])

# GraphMatrix is a structured wrapper around GraphArray columns
print(result.shape())               # (100, 2) - rows x columns  
print(result.columns())             # ['id', 'index'] - column names

# Access individual columns as GraphArray  
ids = result['id']               # Returns GraphArray([0, 1, 2, ...])
indices = result['index']        # Returns GraphArray([0, 1, 2, ...])

# Statistical operations work on each column
print(result['id'].mean())       # Mean of ID column
print(result['index'].std())     # Std dev of index column

# Convert to different formats
matrix_numpy = result.to_numpy()     # 2D NumPy array (100x2)
matrix_pandas = result.to_pandas()   # Pandas DataFrame with proper columns
```

### 🎯 **GraphArray - Enhanced Statistical Arrays (Renamed from PyArray)**
```python
# Create GraphArray from values (renamed for API consistency)
ages = groggy.GraphArray([25, 30, 35, 40, 45])

# Statistical methods (computed in Rust)
print(ages.mean())           # 35.0
print(ages.std())            # 7.91
print(ages.median())         # 35.0
print(ages.quantile(0.95))   # 44.0

# Statistical summary
summary = ages.describe()
print(summary.count, summary.mean, summary.std)
```

### 🔗 **GraphTable GraphArray Integration**
```python
# GraphTable columns now return GraphArray objects with native statistics
table = g.table()
ages = table['age']              # Returns GraphArray (not plain list)
print(ages.mean(), ages.std())   # Native Rust statistical operations

# Works seamlessly like regular lists
print(len(ages))                 # 5
print(ages[0])                   # 25
for age in ages: process(age)    # Iteration works
```

### 🔧 **Subgraph API Consistency Fixes**
```python
# FIXED: Subgraph properties now work consistently
subgraph = g.connected_components()[0]
print(subgraph.node_ids)         # ✅ Works - shows component nodes
print(subgraph.edge_ids)         # ✅ Works - shows component edges

# FIXED: Connected components now include all internal edges
comp = components[0]
print(f"Nodes: {comp.node_count()}")  # ✅ Shows nodes
print(f"Edges: {comp.edge_count()}")  # ✅ Shows correct edge count
```

### ⚡ **Enhanced Query Parser - Complex Logic**
```python
# 3+ term expressions with parentheses
g.filter_nodes("age > 25 AND age < 50 AND salary > 70000 AND active == true")
g.filter_nodes("(age < 30 OR age > 50) AND active == true")
g.filter_nodes("NOT (dept == 'Engineering' OR dept == 'Sales')")

# Nested parentheses
g.filter_nodes("(dept == 'Engineering' OR dept == 'Sales') AND (age > 30 AND salary > 80000)")
```

### 🗂️ **Multi-Column Slicing Enhancement**
```python
# Multi-column access returns 2D structure
age_height = g.nodes[:5][['age', 'height']] # Returns 2D structure
print(age_height)  # [[25, 30, 35], [170, 165, 180]]  # 2 columns x 3 rows

# Access individual columns
ages = age_height[0]     # Age column
heights = age_height[1]  # Height column  
```

## 🗂️ **NEW: Multi-Column Slicing**

### DataFrame-like Multi-Column Access
```python
# Single column access (existing)
ages = g.nodes[:5]['age']                    # Returns list of age values

# Multi-column access (NEW!)
age_height = g.nodes[:5][['age', 'height']] # Returns 2D structure
print(age_height)  # [[25, 30, 35], [170, 165, 180]]  # 2 columns x 3 rows

# Access individual columns
ages = age_height[0]     # Age column
heights = age_height[1]  # Height column  

# Works with any subgraph
filtered = g.filter_nodes("age > 25")
multi_data = filtered[['salary', 'dept', 'active']]  # 3 columns
```

### Implementation
- ✅ **Backward Compatible**: Single string access still works
- ✅ **2D Structure**: List of strings returns column-wise data
- ✅ **Performance**: Uses existing bulk column access optimization
- ✅ **Type Safety**: Proper error handling for invalid keys

## ⚡ **Enhanced Query Parser**

### Complex Logical Expressions Support
```python
# 3+ term expressions
g.filter_nodes("age > 25 AND age < 50 AND salary > 70000 AND active == true")
g.filter_nodes("dept == 'Sales' OR dept == 'Marketing' OR dept == 'HR'")

# Parentheses and mixed operators  
g.filter_nodes("(age < 30 OR age > 50) AND active == true")
g.filter_nodes("dept == 'Engineering' AND (age < 30 OR salary > 100000)")

# NOT with complex expressions
g.filter_nodes("NOT (dept == 'Engineering' OR dept == 'Sales')")
```

### Features

- **Memory Efficiency**: Reduced Rust↔Python call overhead

### GraphTable Features
```python
# Table creation and analysis
table = g.table()                   # All nodes as DataFrame-like table
sub_table = g.nodes[:100].table()   # Subgraph table

# Export capabilities  
table.to_pandas()                   # Convert to pandas DataFrame
table.to_csv('data.csv')            # Direct CSV export
table.to_json('data.json')          # JSON export
```

## 🏗️ **API Improvements**

### Cleaner Internal API
- **Internal Functions**: Renamed bulk access methods with underscore prefixes
- **`_get_node_attribute_column()`**: Internal use by GraphTable and slicing
- **`_get_node_attributes_for_nodes()`**: Internal subgraph optimization
- **Public API**: Users primarily use `g.nodes[0]['age']`, `g.nodes[:5]['age']`, `g.table()`
