eccodes - WMO data format decoding and encoding
- Description:
ecCodes is a package developed by ECMWF which provides an application
programming interface and a set of tools for decoding and encoding
messages in the following formats:
* WMO FM-92 GRIB edition 1 and edition 2
* WMO FM-94 BUFR edition 3 and edition 4
* WMO GTS abbreviated header (only decoding).
A useful set of command line tools provide quick access to the
messages. C, and Fortran 90 interfaces provide access to the main
ecCodes functionality.
ecCodes is an evolution of GRIB-API. It is designed to provide the
user with a simple set of functions to access data from several
formats with a key/value approach.
For GRIB encoding and decoding, the GRIB-API functionality is provided
fully in ecCodes with only minor interface and behaviour changes.
Interfaces for C, and Fortran 90 are all maintained as in GRIB-API.
However, the GRIB-API Fortran 77 interface is no longer available.
In addition, a new set of functions with the prefix "codes_" is
provided to operate on all the supported message formats. These
functions have the same interface and behaviour as the "grib_"
functions.
A selection of GRIB-API tools has been included in ecCodes (ecCodes
GRIB tools), while new tools are available for the BUFR (ecCodes BUFR
tools) and GTS formats. The new tools have been developed to be as
similar as possible to the existing GRIB-API tools maintaining, where
possible, the same options and behaviour. A significant difference
compared with GRIB-API tools is that bufr_dump produces output in JSON
format suitable for many web based applications.
