Export/import formats #60

Closed nicolasaunai closed 1 year ago

nicolasaunai commented 1 year ago

today tscat only allows export to JSON. exporting in other formats such as VOTable could be useful

pboettch commented 1 year ago

VOTable, this is an action for tscat. I don't know the format. Is it this one http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/topcat/sun253/inVotable.html ?

Need to understand the structure, write the import/export code in tscat and integrate in tscat_gui: 2 days

Yes but you will use this https://docs.astropy.org/en/stable/io/votable/index.html

pboettch commented 1 year ago

I think even with a library supporting the serialization, it will still take time to get familiar with and to use it correctly.

For me, 2 days is a careful estimate.

the best is to first focus on AMDA compatibility, and create some catalogs from AMDA -> export them as VOTable -> use astropy to import it into tscat -> then export it again from tscat with astropy -> then import it from AMDA and check that nothing broke.
