Module universal_containers 

This module provides high-level API’s for commonly used storage objects in astronomy, such as Images and Tables. Crates in the rustronomy ecosystem responsible for encoding/decoding specific file formats (such as rustronomy-fits) use the containers defined in this trait to facilitate easy data access and conversion between storage formats.

Metadata

All storage objects defined in this module may contain metadata represented as MetaDataTags, which are simple key-value pairs. Some metadata tags are so commonly used in astronomy (such as a tag for the telescope or author) that they have already been implemented here. In addition, users can add their own metadata tags. For more info, see the metadata module.

Structs

MetaOnly

Basic hashmap based metadata container, containing only metadata.

Table

the table data container. Consists of named columns and metadata tags. See the module-level documentation for more details.

Enums

Col

columns are the constituent parts of tables. They consist of vectors holding elements of the same type. Types are differentiated via the variants of this enum.
