[Feature]: Add `load_namespaces` and `get_namespaces` to `HDMFIO` #1123

Open rly opened 1 month ago

What would you like to see added to HDMF?

It's useful in validation to load or get namespaces from an IO object but right now those are implemented per-backend. HDF5IO supports load_namespaces and get_namespaces and ZarrIO supports only load_namespaces. It would be useful if they and any future HDMFIO class supported both of these methods.

What solution would you like?

Add load_namespaces and get_namespaces as abstract methods to HDMFIO

Do you have any interest in helping implement the feature?

Yes.

This will require some coordination with hdmf-zarr. Let's target July.
