numpy-parser
A JS parser for (binary) .npy
files, supporting all TypedArray subclasses:- float32 & float64
- int8, int16, int32
- uint8, uint16, uint32
Acknowledgements
This implementation was inspired by this gist by nvictus.Future Work
.npy
files can encode floats as 16 bit long, too. While JS runtimes may not support this as a native data type, we could still consider supporting it and parsing into 32 bit floats to at least get the bandwidth savings in transit.
