H5Web: React components for data visualization and exploration

Demos DOI

H5Web is a collection of React components to visualize and explore data. It consists of three packages:

  • @h5web/lib: visualization components built with react-three-fiber.
  • @h5web/app: a component to explore and visualize data stored in HDF5 (or HDF5-like) files, and data providers to connect this component to various back-end solutions.
  • @h5web/h5wasm: an additional data provider that can read HDF5 files straight in the browser.

While H5Web was initially built with the HDF5 format in mind, @h5web/lib visualization components are not tied to HDF5 and can be used to visualize data from any source. Also, @h5web/app lets you write your own data provider and can therefore work with any other hierarchical data format.

If you're after a ready-made solution to view local HDF5 files, take a look at the JupyterLab extension jupyterlab-h5web. The extension is based on @h5web/app and the h5grove Python package.

NPM packages 📚

H5Web's component library, which includes the main visualization components (LineVis, HeatmapVis, etc.) as well as some of their lower-level building blocks (VisCanvas, ColorBar, etc.)

The library is documented in a Storybook site accessible at https://h5web-docs.panosc.eu.

Some examples of usage of @h5web/lib:

LineVis with multiple curves HeatmapVis with horizontal color bar and tooltip Comparison between gamma and power scale

HDF5 viewer component (App) and built-in data providers.

Data providers are components that fetch data from HDF5 back-end solutions and provide this data to the app through React Context. H5Web currently includes three providers, two of which are available in the @h5web/app package:

This package includes a third data provider, H5WasmProvider, that can read HDF5 files straight in the browser thanks to the h5wasm library.

Demos

The demo app demonstrates the use of the built-in data providers and visualizations. Several demos are available, one per data provider:
