Implementations

The ASDF specification is supported in several programming languages. See the table and links below for more information about each implementation and what features are supported (R/W = reads and writes).

Implementation	Metadata	Tags	Blocks	Compression	Validation	Extensions
python	R/W	R/W	R/W	R/W	True	True
c++	R/W	R/W [1]	R [1]	R/W [1]
java	R	R	R	R
julia	R/W	R/W	R/W	R/W

Footnotes
