API Reference

Creating and manipulating HDF5 datasets intended to be interpreted as tables (H5TB)
The HDF5 Table API defines a standard storage for HDF5 datasets that are intended to be interpreted as tables. A table is defined as a collection of records whose values are stored in fixed-length fields. All records have the same structure, and all values in each field have the same data type.
