This repository contains compression plugin code for the library that implement the HDF5® data model API. The HDF5® data model has been adopted across many industries and this implementation has become a de facto data management standard in science, engineering, and research communities worldwide.
HDF5 compression plugins are divided into two categories:
- Maintained
These filters get their own directory off the root, are actively maintained, and are deployed with the HDF5 library when we create a release.
- Community
These are located in the community directory and may not be actively maintained.
This directory is instead intended to be a one-stop-shopping location for information about
filters found in the wild, with links to code and maintainers. The hope is that, even
if the filters become unmaintained, enough information can be found here to decode
the data in the file, even if that would require more effort, such as having to
adapt code that hasn't been maintained in a long time.
This repository only contains information about compression plugins. VFDs and VOL connectors are not maintained here.
