## 1.1 Overview

HDFView is a Java-based tool for browsing and editing HDF4 and HDF5 files. HDFView allows users to browse through any HDF4 and HDF5 file, starting with a tree view of all top-level objects in an HDF file's hierarchy. HDFView allows a user to descend through the hierarchy and navigate among the file's data objects. The content of a data object is loaded only when the object is selected, providing interactive and efficient access to HDF4 and HDF5 files. HDFView editing features allow a user to create, delete, and modify the value of HDF objects and attributes.

## 1.2 Further Information

General information about HDF (HDF4 and HDF5) is available at http://www.hdfgroup.org/.

Information about the HDFView tool and related products is available from the HDF-Java Home page.

Information on recent changes since the last HDFView version can be found in CHANGELOG.md.
