About:
HDF5 is a data model and file format designed to store large amounts of numerical data. It supports complex, hierarchical data structures and high-performance I/O, making it ideal for scientific computing. This version (1.10.x) provides stability and compatibility for legacy workflows.
Key Features:
  • High-performance I/O for large datasets
  • Support for complex, hierarchical data structures
  • Language bindings for C, C++, Fortran, and Python
  • Platform-independent data storage
Use Cases:
  • Storing and accessing large-scale scientific simulation data
  • Archiving and sharing research datasets
  • Managing multi-dimensional arrays and metadata
Alternatives:
  • NetCDF – Built on HDF5, adds climate/science conventions; better for specific scientific domains.
  • Zarr – Cloud-native format optimized for parallel I/O and object storage; better for distributed workflows.
