SFrame.save(filename, format=None)

Save the SFrame to a file system for later use.

Parameters:

The location to save the SFrame. Either a local directory or a remote URL. If the format is ‘binary’, a directory will be created at the location which will contain the sframe.

format : {‘binary’, ‘csv’, ‘json’}, optional

Format in which to save the SFrame. Binary saved SFrames can be loaded much faster and without any format conversion losses. If not given, will try to infer the format from filename given.
