Summary  
This chapter covers accessing a DataFrame’s metadata by retrieving its column names via the `.columns` attribute and its data types via the `.dtypes` attribute.

General domain of usage  
Data analysis

To display all column names as a list, use the following line of code:

```python
column_names = df.columns
```

To get a summary of all data types in the `DataFrame`, use the following attribute:
`.dtypes`.
```python
data_types = df.dtypes
```
