## Questions

Abandoning the support for NAPI for bugfix or compatibility with future linux/library/compiler versions will cause me problems at the following level:

[] Critical: I am using NAPI in critical data acquisition or data reduction/analysis software
[] Major: important applications may not be usable at some future date
[] Minor: inconvenience, I have alternatives/can live with this
[x] None: either I am not using NAPI, or I have copies of all the dependencies that I build/maintain myself

[] I want the NIAC to continue developing NAPI and make it support more HDF5 features. Please list the
 HDF5 feature you miss in NAPI.

Which of the NAPI file format bindings do you use:

[] HDF4
[] HDF5
[] XML

Which of the NAPI language bindings do you use?

[] ANSI-C
[] Fortran
[] C++
[] Java
[] IDL
[] Swig generated bindings to Tcl, perl, ...

Which of the NAPI utilities do you use?

[] NXbrowse
[] NXingest
[] NXtranslate
[] NXconvert
[] NXdump
[] NXsummary

General

[] I am willing to help maintain NAPI


The NeXus validator: cnxvalidate, is missing in this list. This is a separate product to NAPI and the NIAC is committed to maintaining it. It uses the HDF5 API directly rather than NAPI.

Thank you for your time filling in this questionnaire!

Please send replies to  nexus-committee at nexusformat.org

If you have further concerns or comments regarding the NAPI, please inform your NIAC representative - these are listed at  https://www.nexusformat.org/NIAC.html

If your facility is using NeXus, but has no representation on the NIAC, please consider joining the NIAC.

Best Regards,

  Freddie Akeroyd
