HDF (Hierarchical Data Format)

HDF, or Hierarchical Data Format, is a way of organizing and storing complex data on computers. It structures data like a filing system, with files containing folders, and folders containing different types of information—such as images, measurements, or tables. This system makes it easier to manage large amounts of diverse data efficiently, allowing scientists and researchers to access, share, and analyze their data effectively. HDF is widely used in scientific fields for its ability to handle extensive and multifaceted datasets in a clear, organized manner.
