Various tools for creating and manipulating [Zarr v3](https://zarr.dev) data with the [zarrs](https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs) rust crate.

**zarrs_tools is experimental and in limited production use. Correctness issues with zarrs affecting past versions of zarrs_tools are [detailed here](https://docs.rs/zarrs/latest/zarrs/#correctness-issues-with-past-versions).**

[Changelog (CHANGELOG.md)](https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)

## Tools
- [zarrs_reencode]https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools/blob/main/docs/zarrs_reencode.md: reencode an array.
  - Can change the chunk size, shard size, codecs, fill value, chunk key encoding separator, and attributes.
- [zarrs_binary2zarr]https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools/blob/main/docs/zarrs_binary2zarr.md (feature `binary2zarr`): create an array from piped binary data.
- [zarrs_ncvar2zarr]https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools/blob/main/docs/zarrs_ncvar2zarr.md (feature `ncvar2zarr`): convert a netCDF variable to an array.
  - Supports multi-file datasets where a variable has been split along a single dimension.

The following tools are highly experimental and have had limited production testing:

- [zarrs_filter]https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools/blob/main/docs/zarrs_filter.md (feature `filter`): apply simple image filters (transformations) to an array.
- [zarrs_ome]https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools/blob/main/docs/zarrs_ome.md (feature `ome`): convert an array to [OME-Zarr]https://ngff.openmicroscopy.org/latest/index.html.
  - Outputs OME-Zarr `0.5-dev`. This revision is currently recognised by [Neuroglancer]https://github.com/google/neuroglancer for Zarr V3.

See [docs/](https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools/blob/main/docs/) for tool documentation.

## `zarrs` Benchmarking
- `zarrs_reencode`: suitable for round trip benchmarking.
- `zarrs_benchmark_read_sync` (feature `benchmark`): benchmark the zarrs sync API.
- `zarrs_benchmark_read_async` (feature `benchmark`): benchmark the zarrs async API.

See [docs/benchmarks.md](https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools/blob/main/docs/benchmarks.md) for some benchmark measurements.

## Install

### From [crates.io]https://crates.io/crates/zarrs_tools
```bash
cargo install --all-features zarrs_tools
```

### From [source]https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools
```bash
cargo install --all-features --path .
# cargo install --all-features --git https://github.com/LDeakin/zarrs_tools
```

### Enabling SIMD intrinsics
Encoding and decoding performance may be improved with `avx2`/`sse2` enabled (if supported).

This can be enabled by compiling with either of:
 - `RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native"`
 - `RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+avx2,+sse2"`

### Enabling non-default `zarrs` codecs
Non-default `zarrs` codecs (see [`zarrs` crate features](https://docs.rs/zarrs/latest/zarrs/#crate-features)) can be enabled by passing them as feature flags.
For example:
```bash
cargo install zarrs_tools --all-features --features zarrs/bitround,zarrs/zfp,zarrs/bz2,zarrs/pcodec
```
