The cases which one would work with binary data are few and far between. And for the purposes of preserving sanity across architectures, I often find using a cross-platform file format like HDF5 helpful.
- gh02t 11y agoI disagree. The cases where I would do so voluntarily are limited, but I've been forced to deal with binary data on several occasions. HDF5 is also my goto if I am in control, but sometimes you're given data that is only in some obscure binary format. Unless you were implying that such work is best done in another language. I can buy that, but I found Python to be a convenient choice for it.
