I have been using HDF5 for a while now, and have always been happy. However, I've seen some people who are loyal NetCDF users.<p>I am storing 3D, 4D, and 5D arrays, and since I am starting a new, multi-year project, I would like to know your take on NetCDF and why would someone consider using it over HDF5 (for instance, long-term support, etc.)
Are you aware that netCDF-4 has partial supports for HDF5 format?<p><a href="https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/interoperability_hdf5.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/docs/interopera...</a>
