High-level Library

The high-level HDF5 library includes several sets of convenience and standard-use APIs to facilitate common HDF5 operations.

• HDF5 Lite APIs (H5LT,H5LD)
  Functions to simplify creating and manipulating datasets, attributes and other features
• HDF5 Images API (H5IM)
  Creating and manipulating HDF5 datasets intended to be interpreted as images
• HDF5 Table APIs (H5TB)
  Creating and manipulating HDF5 datasets intended to be interpreted as tables
• HDF5 Packet Table APIs (H5PT)
  Creating and manipulating HDF5 datasets to support append- and read-only operations on table data
• HDF5 Dimension Scales APIs (H5DS)
  Creating and manipulating HDF5 datasets that are associated with the dimension of another HDF5 dataset
• HDF5 Optimizations APIs (H5DO)
  Bypassing default HDF5 behavior in order to optimize for specific use cases
• Extensions (H5LR, H5LT)
