The HDF Group will be hosting a webinar presented by Loïc Huder (@loic.huder) of ESRF on **Wednesday, August 31 at 9:00 a.m. US central time.** [H5Web](https://h5web.panosc.eu/) is a web viewer for HDF5 files. It can be used to browse HDF5 files and display datasets with performant WebGL-based visualisations. While such files can be requested from a separate server (e.g. HSDS) for modularity, it is now possible to load and explore a file fully in the browser by using a WebAssembly HDF5 library called h5wasm. In this talk, presenter Loïc Huder will show how the team leveraged h5wasm to design a VSCode extension that uses H5Web to explore and visualize HDF5 files. Once the H5Web extension is installed, exploring and visualising a local HDF5 file in VSCode can be done with a simple double-click.

The HDF Group hosted, Loïc Huder (@loic.huder) of ESRF for a webinar on Vscode-h5web: A VSCode extension to explore and visualize HDF5 files on August 31, 2022. Thanks Loïc, for sharing this project with the community. We’re posting the recording and slide deck, plus links if you’d like more info.
