Overview of Astropy File I/O — Astropy v7.1.0
Overview of Astropy File I/O
Astropy provides two main interfaces for reading and writing data:
- High-level Unified I/O interface that is designed to be consistent and easy to use. This allows working with different types of data such as tables, images, and even cosmologies.
- Low-level I/O sub-packages that are directly responsible for reading and writing data in specific formats such as FITS or VOTable.
In general we recommend starting with the high-level interface unless you have a specific need for the low-level interface.
