Why a Typescript implementation for Zarr?

For better or for worse the browser environment is slowly becoming the world's operating system. Numerical computing with a lot of data is a poor fit for browsers, but for data visualization, exploration and result-sharing the browser is unparalleled.

With this library a workflow as such becomes possible:

• You run an experiment/workflow in Python or Julia.
• You write results to a Zarr store, perhaps one that lives in some cloud storage.
• In a browser you create a visualization suite which allows for some interactivity.
• You share a link to a colleague or friend.
