numpy-parser

A JS parser for (binary) .npy files, supporting all TypedArray subclasses:

• float32 & float64
• int8, int16, int32
• uint8, uint16, uint32

Acknowledgements

This implementation was inspired by this gist by nvictus.

Future Work

.npy files can encode floats as 16 bit long, too. While JS runtimes may not support this as a native data type, we could still consider supporting it and parsing into 32 bit floats to at least get the bandwidth savings in transit.
