About:
Libheinz is a foundational C++ library developed by the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) to support scientific data analysis and instrument control. It provides a set of robust, reusable components and utilities designed for high-performance computing environments. The library serves as a core dependency for various MLZ scientific software projects, ensuring consistency and reliability.

Key Features:

Core C++ utilities and data structures
Designed for scientific computing applications
Provides a stable foundation for MLZ software ecosystem
Optimized for performance and reliability

Use Cases:

Developing custom data analysis tools for neutron scattering experiments
Building control software for scientific instrumentation at MLZ
Serving as a base layer for other research software projects

Alternatives:

Boost C++ Libraries – Boost is a much larger, general-purpose collection of C++ libraries, whereas Libheinz is a lightweight, domain-specific library tailored for MLZ needs.
Standard Template Library (STL) – STL provides fundamental containers and algorithms, but Libheinz offers higher-level abstractions and utilities specific to scientific computing workflows.
