Are there utility APIs to know if a table is empty, number of rows/columns in it etc?

I don't see any APIs like this. I can know if the table is empty by checking if to_string returns empty, but an API will help!

Hi! Added functions ft_is_empty to C API and is_empty to C++ API and merged to develop branch.

thanks for is_empty(), do apis like row_count() column_count() make sense?

Hard to say. I wouldn't hurry adding them. Don't want to add functions to API if it is not clear how they would be used. At first it seems easy. But maybe there can be some problems since it is possible to expand cells for several columns.
So I think it is better to leave it as is. Let's take a break and keep the issue open for some time. If somebody else wants this functions he'll write his thoughts about their necessity of these functions and we'll add them.

I agree that columns can be be broken/merged, but I don't think same thing can be done with rows, so a row_count() API should not be problematic. In fact I saw that you are checking row_count() == 0 in is_empty()

Added function to get number of rows in the table. Resolving the issue.
Feel free to reopen if needed.
