[NeXus-committee] [Nexus] NAPI future

[Pete Jemian]

> ## 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.
