ak.categories(array, highlevel=True)

Parameters

• array – Array-like data (anything ak.to_layout recognizes).

• highlevel (bool) – If True, return an ak.Array; otherwise, return a low-level ak.contents.Content subclass.

If the array is categorical (contains ak.contents.IndexedArray or ak.contents.IndexedOptionArray labeled with parameter "__array__" = "categorical"), then this function returns its categories.
