HDF4 is a library and multi-object file format for storing and managing data
|
|
between machines. HDF4 is a very different technology than HDF5. The HDF Group
|
|
recommends that, other than for working with existing HDF4 data, new
|
|
applications use HDF5 since HDF5 addresses important deficiencies of HDF4.
|
|
|
|
Although The HDF Group maintains HDF4 by fixing defects and porting it to new
|
|
operating environments, there is no longer any new development occurring. HDF4
|
|
is considered deprecated and new products should be developed in HDF5.
