HDF5 integration with ROOT framework

Question

I've worked extensively with ROOT, which has it's own format for data files, but for various reasons we would like to switch to HDF5 files. Unfortunately we'd still require some way of translating files between formats. Does anyone know of any existing libraries which do this?

Answer 1

You might check out rootpy, which has a facility for converting ROOT files into HDF5 via PyTables: http://www.rootpy.org/commands/root2hdf5.html
