HDFView is a free, open-source graphical application developed by The HDF Group for exploring and editing Hierarchical Data Format files. It supports HDF4 and HDF5 datasets commonly used in scientific research, engineering, and data analysis. Users can browse files through a hierarchical tree displaying groups, datasets, and related objects. The software provides spreadsheet-style views for examining multidimensional numerical data. It also allows users to inspect metadata, attributes, and data types associated with stored information. Selected datasets can be displayed through image and graphical visualization tools. HDFView supports modifying supported data objects and managing file structures. Built with Java, it provides a cross-platform environment for working with complex scientific datasets.
