-------------------------------------

HDF5 is a general purpose library and file format for storing scientific
data. HDF5 is particularly good at dealing with data where complexity
and scalability are important. Data of virtually any type or size can
be stored in HDF5, including complex data structures and data types.
HDF5 is scalable - it works well in high end computing environments,
and can accommodate data objects of almost any size or multiplicity.
It is also efficient, providing fast access to data, including parallel
I/O. It also can store large amounts of data efficiently - it has
built-in compression, or applications can also provide their own
special-purpose compression. HDF4 and HDF5 are both widely used in
government, academia, and industry. There are more than 200 distinct
applications of the formats, and an estimated 1.6 million users of
NASA data alone. It is also the base format for a number of community
standards, such as HDF-EOS, the standard for NASA's enormous
Earth Observing System http://eospso.gsfc.nasa.gov/, and
NeXus, the standard for Neutron, Xray and Muon Science
(http://www.nexus.anl.gov/index.html).
