Next Generation file format IO

NGIO - Next Generation file format IO

NGIO is a Python library to streamline OME-Zarr image analysis workflows.

Main Goals:

• Abstract object base API for handling OME-Zarr files
• Powefull iterators for processing data using common access patterns
• Tight integration with Fractal's Table Fractal
• Validate OME-Zarr files

To get started, check out the Getting Started guide. Or checkout our Documentation

🚧 Ngio is Under active Development 🚧
