Introduction

Welcome to kastore’s documentation! Kastore is a simple storage format mapping keys to numerical arrays in a write-once-read-many file store. A cross platform C API provides programmatic access to this file format, and there is also a convenient Python API with a command line interface.

Kastore is developed as the file backing for tskit, but may be useful in other projects that need a simple storage format for numerical arrays with a portable C API.
