eccodes

This crate is in very early development stage. It is currently published to reserve the crate name. First usable release will likely be published in September 2021.

If you want to contribute or need make this library be released sooner check Github repository. All submitted issues and pull requests are welcome.

This crate will contain safe high-level bindings for ecCodes library. Bindings can be considered safe mainly because all crate structures will take ownership of the data in memory before passing the raw pointer to ecCodes.

ecCodes is an open-source library for reading and writing GRIB and BUFR files developed by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

Because ecCodes supports mainly Linux platforms, this crate is not tested on other architectures.

Usage

This crate uses eccodes-sys with default options to link ecCodes. Check eccodes-sys website for more details on how it links the library.

If you would like to build ecCodes with other options simply import eccodes-sys along with eccodes in your Cargo.toml file and select needed features.

This crate will provide to ways of accesing GRIB/BUFR files:

• Using fopen() function to open a file with filesystem, when copying whole file into memory is not desired or not necessary.
• Using 'fmemopen() function to use a file that is already in memory. For example, when file is downloaded from the internet and does not need to be saved on hard drive.
