+HDF is a general purpose library and file format for storing
+scientific data.
+HDF can store two primary objects: datasets and groups. A dataset is
+essentially a multidimensional array of data elements, and a group is
+a structure for organizing objects in an HDF file. Using these two basic
+objects, one can create and store almost any kind of scientific data
+structure, such as images, arrays of vectors, and structured and
+unstructured grids. You can also mix and match them in HDF files
+according to your needs.
