zarr-python

Guides use of Zarr-Python 3 for storing chunked, compressed N-dimensional arrays and groups, with local, in-memory, ZIP, and fsspec-backed S3/GCS/HTTP stores, plus NumPy, Dask, and Xarray integration. Covers array creation, resizing and appending, attributes, chunk and shard sizing, codecs, consolidated metadata, and v2-to-v3 migration. Use when creating or opening Zarr arrays or groups, choosing chunk sizes or compression for large datasets, reading or writing arrays on S3 or GCS, appending to time-series arrays, or migrating code from Zarr-Python 2 to 3. Use when setting up parallel I/O with Dask or Xarray. For labeled multi-dimensional datasets, use Xarray instead.
