1444648598 PR_kwDOAMm_X85WG5aW 8012 closed 0 Add HDF5 Section to read/write docs page 35503632 ## Overview This PR adds an HDF5 section to the "Reading and Writing Files" section of the documentation. It discusses the features and limitations of opening HDF5 data in xarray. PR spun out of discussion #6299. - [x] Adds documentation ## Discussion To keep in line with other sections it would make sense to speak to xarray's ability to write HDF5 data. The `.to_netcdf()` function does write files that can be read with HDF5 cli tools, which makes sense given that (as I understand it) a netCDF4 file is a slightly stricter implementation of the HDF5 data model. The [netCDF4 docs](https://docs.unidata.ucar.edu/netcdf-c/current/interoperability_hdf5.html) even say: > The HDF5 Files produced by netCDF-4 are perfectly respectable HDF5 files, and can be read by any HDF5 application Still, it seems odd to recommend users write HDF5 files with a function called `.to_netcdf()`. What do others think the proper tone is to take for writing files? Encourage `.to_netcdf()`? Mention it cautiously? Ignore it all together? 2023-07-21T15:16:55Z 2023-07-24T21:42:41Z 2023-07-24T21:20:47Z 2023-07-24T21:20:47Z 88315fd0e2f5fcf3f8a103cc591dcd1af813d86b     0 690d82fde44b2231046af2d172b307f3c7b20cb3 ba26410f7cab2ab4478f42fe8f17ec88bdcb04ee CONTRIBUTOR
