This is a library for handling Data in Java. It is inspired in part by NumPy and aims to provide similar functionality.

The Eclipse Dataset project is a fork of the Eclipse Dawnsci project that extracts Datasets and its associated Maths libraries.

• Familiar. Provide familiar functionality, especially to NumPy users.
• Robust. Has test suite and is used in production heavily at Diamond Light Source.
• No more passing double[]. IDataset provide a consistent object for basing APIs on with significantly improved clarity over using double arrays or similar.
• Optimized. Optimized for speed and getting better all the time.
• Scalable. Allows handling of data sets larger than available memory with "Lazy Datasets".
• Focus on your algorithms. By reusing this library it allows you to focus on your code.

The current Javadocs are published here http://jonahkichwacoders.github.io/org.eclipse.dataset/javadoc/

At the moment this is work in progress and essentially a proposal on the way forward. Join us for discussion https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/science-iwg
