Joblib is an open-source Python library designed for efficient serialization and parallel computing. It is widely used in data science and machine learning for saving and loading large Python objects such as NumPy arrays and trained models, particularly in combination with scikit-learn. Joblib also enables parallel execution of tasks across multiple CPU cores, making computations faster and more resource-efficient. Its simple API allows seamless integration into ML/DL workflows.

Features of Joblib:

• Provides fast and efficient serialization for large Python objects.
• Commonly used with scikit-learn for saving and loading trained models.
• Supports parallel execution of tasks across multiple CPU cores.
• Optimized for handling large NumPy arrays efficiently.
• Lightweight and easy to integrate into existing Python workflows.
• Improves performance for repetitive computations with caching.
• Open-source and actively maintained by the Python community.
