Grib2 parser C/C++ library

grib2dec

grib2dec is a C/C++ library to parse files in grib2 format.

What it does ?

• For now, complex packing and complex packing with spatial differencing data representations are implemented.

• Spatial filter capability : fetch data from a subregion

• C and C++ interfaces

Why ?

Because I was stuck with g2clib, the C library to decode grib2, that didn't work. I hope this library will be easy to extand when needed.

How ?

• Compile library and demo program with cmake && make. Install it with make install.

• Library usage exemple: see apps/grib2dec.cpp

• demo program : run ./apps/grib2dec for usage help.
