PySpark DataFrame's dtypes property returns the column labels and types as a list of tuples.

Return Value

List of tuples.

Examples

Consider the following PySpark DataFrame:

columns = ["name", "age"]
data = [("Alex", 15), ("Bob", 20), ("Cathy", 25)]
df = spark.createDataFrame(data, columns)
df.show()
+-----+---+
| name|age|
+-----+---+
| Alex| 15|
| Bob| 20|
|Cathy| 25|
+-----+---+

Getting the column labels and types in PySpark DataFrame

To obtain the column labels and types, use the dtypes property:

[('name', 'string'), ('age', 'bigint')]
