What is it?
-----------

Python-Blosc2 is a Python package that wraps C-Blosc2, the newest version of
the Blosc compressor. Currently Python-Blosc2 already reproduces the API of
Python-Blosc (https://github.com/Blosc/python-blosc), so the former can be
used as a drop-in replacement for the later. However, there are a few
exceptions for full compatibility:

Python-Blosc2 comes with NDArray support, which is a new Python class that
allows to create multi-dimensional arrays of compressed data. NDArray
follows the same (or very similar) API as NumPy arrays, so it can be used
as a drop-in replacement. See the documentation for more details:
https://www.blosc.org/python-blosc2/reference/ndarray_api.html
