Why does serialbox2 uses two distinct metadata JSON files?

[adamryczkowski]

I am curious, why did you introduce another metadatafile with Serialbox2? The JSON already handles structured data, so you could simply store the additional metadata inside the original JSON file (the one without the Metadata- prefix).

This was done to easily convert your data from one archive to another (e.g Binary to NetCDF). All archive specific meta-data are stored in the ArchiveMetaData-*.json while the archive independent meta-data (like the Savepoints etc.) are stored in the normal MetaData-field.json.
