It is capable of parsing both pixels and metadata for a\nlarge number of formats, as well as writing to several formats.\n\nIf you are having an issue with Bio-Formats and need support, please see the\n[support page](./SUPPORT.md).\n\nPurpose\n-------\n\nBio-Formats' primary purpose is to convert proprietary microscopy data into \nan open standard called the OME data model, particularly into the OME-TIFF \nfile format. See [About Bio-Formats](https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/latest/bio-formats/about/index.html)\nfor further information.\n\nSupported formats\n-----------------\n\nBio-Formats supports [more than a hundred file\nformats](https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/latest/bio-formats/supported-formats.html).\n\n\nFor users\n---------\n\n[Many software packages](https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/latest/bio-formats/users/index.html)\nuse Bio-Formats to read and write microscopy formats.\n\n\nFor developers\n--------------\n\nYou can use Bio-Formats to easily [support these formats in your software](https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/latest/bio-formats/developers/java-library.html).\n\n\nMore information\n----------------\n\nFor more information, see the [Bio-Formats web\nsite](https://www.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats).\n\nPull request testing\n--------------------\n\nWe welcome pull requests from anyone, but ask that you please verify the\nfollowing before submitting a pull request:\n\n * verify that the branch merges cleanly into ```develop```\n * verify that the branch compiles with the ```clean jars tools``` Ant targets\n * verify that the branch compiles using Maven\n * verify that the branch does not use syntax or API specific to Java 1.8+\n * run the unit tests (```ant test```) and correct any failures\n * test at least one file in each affected format, using the ```showinf```\n   command\n * internal developers only: [run the data\n   tests](https://github.com/ome/bio-formats-documentation/blob/master/sphinx/developers/commit-testing.rst)\n   against directories corresponding to the affected format(s)\n * make sure that your commits contain the correct authorship information and,\n   if necessary, a signed-off-by line\n * make sure that the commit messages or pull request comment contains\n   sufficient information for the reviewer(s) to understand what problem was\n   fixed and how to test it\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Software","Ranked by starred repositories"],"sub_categories":["Image IO"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fome%2Fbioformats","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fome%2Fbioformats","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fome%2Fbioformats/lists"}
