**Datatree is a prototype implementation of a tree-like hierarchical data structure for xarray.**

Datatree was born after the xarray team recognised a [need for a new hierarchical data structure](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/4118),
that was more flexible than a single `xarray.Dataset` object.
The initial motivation was to represent netCDF files / Zarr stores with multiple nested groups in a single in-memory object,
but `datatree.DataTree` objects have many other uses.

**This repository has been archived and the code is no longer maintained!**

Datatree has been [merged upstream into `pydata/xarray`](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/8572), and released as of xarray version `2024.10.0`.

There will be no further bugfixes or feature additions to this respository.

Users of this repository should migrate to using `xarray.DataTree` instead, following the [Migration Guide](https://github.com/pydata/xarray/discussions/9680).

The information below is all outdated, and is left only for historical interest.

### Installation
You can install datatree via pip:
```shell
pip install xarray-datatree
```

or via conda-forge
```shell
conda install -c conda-forge xarray-datatree
```

### Why Datatree?

You might want to use datatree for:

- Organising many related datasets, e.g. results of the same experiment with different parameters, or simulations of the same system using different models,
- Analysing similar data at multiple resolutions simultaneously, such as when doing a convergence study,
- Comparing heterogenous but related data, such as experimental and theoretical data,
- I/O with nested data formats such as netCDF / Zarr groups.

### Features

The approach used here is based on benbovy's [`DatasetNode` example](https://gist.github.com/benbovy/92e7c76220af1aaa4b3a0b65374e233a) - the basic idea is that each tree node wraps a up to a single `xarray.Dataset`. The differences are that this effort:
- Uses a node structure inspired by [anytree](https://github.com/xarray-contrib/datatree/issues/7) for the tree,
- Implements path-like getting and setting,
- Has functions for mapping user-supplied functions over every node in the tree,
- Automatically dispatches *some* of `xarray.Dataset`'s API over every node in the tree (such as `.isel`),
- Has a bunch of tests,
- Has a printable representation that currently looks like this:

### Get Started

You can create a `DataTree` object in 3 ways:
1) Load from a netCDF file (or Zarr store) that has groups via `open_datatree()`.
2) Using the init method of `DataTree`, which creates an individual node.
  You can then specify the nodes' relationships to one other, either by setting `.parent` and `.children` attributes,
  or through `__get/setitem__` access, e.g. `dt['path/to/node'] = DataTree()`.
3) Create a tree from a dictionary of paths to datasets using `DataTree.from_dict()`.

### Development Roadmap

Datatree currently lives in a separate repository to the main xarray package.
This allows the datatree developers to make changes to it, experiment, and improve it faster.

Eventually we plan to fully integrate datatree upstream into xarray's main codebase, at which point the [github.com/xarray-contrib/datatree](https://github.com/xarray-contrib/datatree>) repository will be archived.
This should not cause much disruption to code that depends on datatree - you will likely only have to change the import line (i.e. from ``from datatree import DataTree`` to ``from xarray import DataTree``).

However, until this full integration occurs, datatree's API should not be considered to have the same [level of stability as xarray's](https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/contributing.html#backwards-compatibility).

### User Feedback

We really really really want to hear your opinions on datatree!
At this point in development, user feedback is critical to help us create something that will suit everyone's needs.
Please raise any thoughts, issues, suggestions or bugs, no matter how small or large, on the [github issue tracker](https://github.com/xarray-contrib/datatree/issues).
