Description

MatFileRW contributor Florian Enner has created a new Java library for reading and writing MAT files, you can find it at HebiRobotics/MFL.

MatFileRW will continue to accept bug reports and PRs. However, we recommend starting new projects with HebiRobotics/MFL because it:

  • has every testcase from MatFileRW and more
  • has a cleaner and more modern codebase
  • supports concurrent compression and decompression
  • is designed for interoperability with native-Java matrix manipulation
  • has optional EJML integration

Besides the effort to learn the new API, there are no downsides and quite a few upsides. Migrating a project is a big job, so we will continue to accept bug reports and PR's for MatFileRW to support those who don't choose to migrate.
