HDF5 versus binary file format

 

Any objections to slowly removing the binary file output format in
favour of HDF5? An object can be sent into and be retrieved from a
HDF5 file by a string. For large vectors (>10^6), the HDF5 output is
almost 3 times faster than the binary output, it works in parallel,
file data can be viewed using the HDF5 viewer and the output files are
platform-independent.
