Description: NeXus is an international standard for the storage and exchange of neutron, x-ray, and muon spin resonance data. The structure of NeXus files is extremely flexible, allowing the storage of both simple data sets, such as a single data array and its axes, and highly complex data and their associated metadata, such as measurements on a multi-component instrument or numerical simulations. NeXus has a simple API that allows the reading and writing of data in HDF or XML.
(While properly a data format, the NXentry-class groups "contain all the data that is required to describe an experimental run or scan" so this probably counts as metadata.)
