Summary : WMO data format decoding and encoding
URL : https://software.ecmwf.int/wiki/display/ECC/ecCodes+Home
License : ASL 2.0
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.
