oxyroot

Another attempt to make library reading of .root binary files which are commonly used in particle physics

Inspiration

To make this library :

• inspiration taken from groot for reading root file, even the code organisation
• inspiration taken from uproot to provide branch interface (for reading basket buffer)

Getting started

Example: Iter over a branch tree containing i32 values

use oxyroot::RootFile;
let s = "examples/from_uproot/data/HZZ.root";
let tree = RootFile::open(s).unwrap().get_tree("events").unwrap();
let NJet = tree.branch("NJet").unwrap().as_iter::<i32>();
NJet.for_each( | v| println!("v = {v}"));

Example: Iter over a branch tree containing Vec<i32> (aka std::vector<int32_t>) values

use oxyroot::RootFile;
let s = "tests/stl_containers/stl_containers.root";
let tree = RootFile::open(s).unwrap().get_tree("tree").unwrap();
let vector_int32 = tree.branch("vector_int32")
.unwrap().as_iter::<Vec<i32> > ()
.collect::<Vec<_ > > ();
assert_eq!(
  vector_int32,
  [
    vec![1],
    vec![1, 2],
    vec![1, 2, 3],
    vec![1, 2, 3, 4],
    vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  ]
);
