Description
The h5cpp library developed by DESY and ESS is a C++ wrapper for the HDF5 library. Using modern C++ features it simplifies creation of HDF5 files via wrapping pointers in c++ class objects and mapping HDF5 datatypes and dataspaces to native C++ datatypes and containers.
The C++ libpninexus library adds a set of advance tools. In particular, it offers an file structure builder from XML configuration, along with helper utilities that simplify the creation and reading of NeXus files.
The python-pninexus package provides python bindings for both h5cpp and libpninexus. It adds support for numpy arrays via mapping them to HDF5 datatypes and dataspaces with use of C++ traits.
The libraries with their Python binding are widely used by the PETRA III experiment at DESY in our detector Tango servers and our NeXus metadata framework. They are supported on Linux, Windows, and macOS, and run on both x64 and ARM architectures.
