## Independent Development
This library was created independently from scratch. No Qlik proprietary code, binaries, SDKs, or internal documentation were used in its development.
All technical information about the QVD file format was obtained exclusively from:
- Publicly available community posts and forums (community.qlik.com)
- Publicly available Qlik help documentation (help.qlik.com)
- Independent reverse-engineering of the binary file format by analyzing publicly shared QVD files
- Open-source QVD reader implementations by other independent developers
## Purpose
This is an independent open-source project. Its sole purpose is interoperability — enabling users to read, write, and process QVD files outside of the Qlik ecosystem, similar to how open-source libraries exist for other proprietary formats (Excel, PDF, etc.).
