writing a 3d array of data to file

What are some common formats for writing 3d data arrays to (txt) file?

(if I have to do this, I would rather use a format that someone else can follow)

Solution

  • I don't know of a pre-existing standard for something like this, but how about:

    [
  [
    [1,2,3],
    [4,5,6]
  ],
  [
    [7,8,9],
    [10,11,12]
  ]
],
[
  [
    [1,2,3],
    [4,5,6]
  ],
  [
    [7,8,9],
    [10,11,12]
  ]
]

    It's easy to read but if you want to flatten it it would look like this:

    [ [ [1,2,3], [4,5,6] ], [ [7,8,9], [10,11,12] ] ], [ [ [1,2,3], [4,5,6] ], [ [7,8,9], [10,11,12] ] ]
