The `HDF5 library <http://www.hdfgroup.com/HDF5>`_ is a versatile,
 
5
mature library designed for the storage
 
6
of numerical data.  The h5py package provides a simple, Pythonic interface to
 
7
HDF5.  A straightforward high-level interface allows the manipulation of
 
8
HDF5 files, groups and datasets using established Python and NumPy metaphors.

Additionally, the library offers a low-level interface which exposes the 
 
11
majority of the HDF5 C API in a Pythonic, object-oriented fashion.  This
 
12
interface is documented in the :ref:`low-level API reference <api_ref>`.
