Research direction

Start with Deno's Jupyter integration documentation and the described Symbol.for("Jupyter.display") entry point. Define the integration scope and identify the relevant Apache Arrow JS display path before implementing it. Done should provide useful interactive Jupyter output for Arrow data, with coverage for the supported display formats.

Description

Type: enhancement
Describe the enhancement requested

Deno has officially supported Jupyter, and jupyter output can be customized by defining a [Symbol.for("Jupyter.display")] method in the class.

For example, the following code displays a dataframe.

{
  [Symbol.for("Jupyter.display")]() {
    return {
      // HTML output
      "text/html": `
        <table border="1" class="dataframe">
          <thead>
            <tr>
              <th>name</th>
              <th>age</th>
            </tr>
          </thead>
          <tbody>
            <tr>
              <td>Alice</td>
              <td>22</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td>Bob</td>
              <td>24</td>
            </tr>
          </tbody>
        </table>`,
    }
}

The output is like:

name age
Alice 22
Bob 24

This can be helpful for interactive data exploration.
