Zarr

What is it?

Zarr is a Python package providing an implementation of compressed, chunked, N-dimensional arrays, designed for use in parallel computing. See the documentation for more information.

Main Features

  • Create N-dimensional arrays with any NumPy dtype.
  • Chunk arrays along any dimension.
  • Compress and/or filter chunks using any NumCodecs codec.
  • Store arrays in memory, on disk, inside a zip file, on S3, etc...
  • Read an array concurrently from multiple threads or processes.
  • Write to an array concurrently from multiple threads or processes.
  • Organize arrays into hierarchies via groups.

Where to get it

Zarr can be installed from PyPI using pip:

pip install zarr

or via conda:

conda install -c conda-forge zarr

For more details, including how to install from source, see the installation documentation.
