ndarray-npy

This crate provides support for reading/writing [ndarray]'s ArrayBase type from/to [.npy] and [.npz] files. See src/lib.rs for more information.

This crate is a work-in-progress. It currently supports only a subset of .npy header descriptors and supports only primitive numeric types as the array element type. You can implement ReadableElement and WritableElement for your own types, but the next breaking release of this library will probably change those traits.

Future plans include support for:

Memory-mapped files.
More element types (e.g. structs). If you need support for structs before this is implemented in ndarray-npy, check out the [npy crate].
Possibly merging this with the [npy crate].

Using with Cargo

To use with the default features:

toml [dependencies] ndarray-npy = "0.1"

To use without the default features:

toml [dependencies] ndarray-npy = { version = "0.1", default-features = false }

There are two optional features that are enabled by default:

npz enables support for .npz files, which requires a dependency on the [zip crate].
compressed_npz enables support for compressed .npz files, which requires a dependency on the [zip crate] and also pulls in the necessary dependencies for the zip crate's deflate feature.

For example, you can use just the npz feature:

toml [dependencies.ndarray-npy] version = "0.1" default-features = false features = ["npz"]
