What is broot?

The ROOT data analysis framework is a prominent tool in High Energy Physics (HEP) that utilizes its own specialized file format (.root) for data storage. It boasts seamless integration with C++ programs, and for those who prefer Python, it offers an interface known as pyROOT. Unfortunately, pyROOT faces challenges with compatibility for Python 3.4, which has led to the development of a new library called broot. This streamlined library is designed to convert data contained in Python's numpy ndarrays into ROOT files, organizing data by creating a branch for each array. The primary goal of this library is to provide a consistent method for exporting numpy data structures to ROOT files efficiently. Additionally, broot is crafted to be both portable and compatible across Python 2 and 3, as well as with ROOT versions 5 and 6, requiring no modifications to the existing ROOT components—only a standard installation is sufficient. Users will appreciate the straightforward installation process, as they can either compile the library once or install it conveniently as a Python package, making it an attractive option for data analysis tasks. This user-friendly approach is likely to encourage an increasing number of researchers to incorporate ROOT into their data analysis routines. Overall, the accessibility and functionality of broot enhance the versatility of using ROOT in various research settings.
