Description

HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format version 5) is a file format and software library designed to store and organize large amounts of complex data.

  • Efficient storage: HDF5 makes it possible to store large datasets (such as matrices, images, arrays, etc.) in a compact and organized way.
  • Hierarchical structure: Like a file system, it allows the creation of folders (groups) and files (datasets) within a single HDF5 file.
  • Flexibility: It supports different types of data (numbers, text, images, etc.) and allows metadata (attributes) to be added to each element.
