TinyNPY: Tiny C++ loader/exporter of python numpy array NPY/NPZ files

Introduction

TinyNPY is a tiny, lightweight C++ library for parsing Numpy array files in NPY and NPZ format. No third party dependencies are needed to parse NPY and uncompressed NPZ files, but ZLIB library is needed to parse compressed NPZ files. TinyNPY is easy to use, simply copy the two source files in you project.

Usage example

#include "TinyNPY.h"

int main(int argc, const char** argv)
{
	// read NPY array file
	NpyArray arr;
	const LPCSTR ret = arr.LoadNPY(argv[1]);

	// read NPZ arrays file: specific array
	//NpyArray arr;
	//const LPCSTR ret = arr.LoadNPZ(argv[1], "features");

	// read NPZ arrays file: all arrays
	//NpyArray::npz_t arrays;
	//const LPCSTR ret = arr.LoadNPZ(argv[1], arrays);
	//NpyArray& arr = arrays.begin()->second;

	if (ret != NULL) {
		std::cout << ret << " '" << argv[1] << "'\n";
		return -2;
	}

	// print array metadata
	std::cout << "Number of values " << arr.NumValue() << "\n";
	std::cout << "Size in bytes " << arr.SizeBytes() << "\n";
	if (typeid(int) == arr.ValueType())
		std::cout << "Value type float\n";
	if (typeid(float) == arr.ValueType())
		std::cout << "Value type float\n";
	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
