HDF5 Lite (H5LT) is designed as a convenience API, performing more operations per call than the basic HDF5 interfaces.
Other high-level HDF5 APIs are sets of functions that provide standard object interfaces and definitions: images (H5IM), tables (H5TB), packet tables (H5PT), and dimension scales (H5DS).
