"Standard talk" Plenary Session Monday (2)

Speaker

Henry Fredrick Schreiner (Princeton University)

Description

This talk covers histogram serialization that has been added to the latest versions of boost-histogram, hist, and uhi. We'll see how you can serialize and deserialize histograms to multiple formats. We'll also look as related recent advancements, such as the new cross-library tests provided in uhi.

We'll take a deeper look at the new serialization specification that was developed in UHI, we'll look at how other libraries can take advantage of this serialization. We will also discuss some future possibilities for formats beyond the initial three (HDF5, zip, and JSON).
