Why are we (re)implementing this? Or more precisely: how is this different from mz5 from the Steen lab, which is already in ProteoWizard?
mz5 is replicating xml formats with hd5 library, and it doesn't use pytables, which is more then just a python wrapper for hd5, and it doesn't use blosc, an extremely fast, multi-threaded, meta-compressor library. LacyTools is using both libraries and not just replicating xml ways, so it is fast and uses only 1/3 of disk space.
OK - I (genuinely) look forward to a side-by-side comparison! There are so many ways to put the data in mzML too (just looking at msconvert), which also have a huge effect on size. But I suspect you are aware of these!
Will you be at ASMS or IMSC? Otherwise, perhaps I will see you in Leiden sometime?
Fair comparison is absolutely in our plans.
This is my last day in Leiden. I will probably not be at the ASMS or IMSC this year.
