Interoperability

Warning

The list of software that reads and writes SpatialData is now maintained with the SpatialData specifications: see storage format implementations and implementations of the data model. This page may be out of date.

The on-disk representation of SpatialData can be read from other languages. Here we list interfaces for working with SpatialData from your language of choice:

R

• spatialdataR provides an R implementation of the SpatialData object, with out-of-memory images and labels, duckdb-backed points and shapes, and tables represented as SingleCellExperiment objects.

JavaScript and TypeScript

• SpatialData.js provides a TypeScript and JavaScript library for interfacing with SpatialData stores.

• Vitessce reads spatialdata.zarr stores directly and uses them for interactive visualization.

File format

The SpatialData storage format builds on OME-NGFF. The SpatialData specifications define the data model and the on-disk layout, independently of this library; implementations in other languages should follow them.
