       "col2": ["a", "b", "c"]
   }
   
   table = dict_to_pa_table(data)
   print(table)

From table to dict:

.. code-block:: python

   from arrow_table_dict_conversion import unpack_pa_table_dict

   data = {
       "col1": [1, 2, 3],
       "col2": ["a", "b", "c"]
   }
   table = pa.table(data)

   result_dict = unpack_pa_table_dict(table)
   print(result_dict)
