Xarray

Xarray (pronounced 'ex-array') is an open-source Python package that simplifies working with labelled multi-dimensional arrays and datasets. It introduces labels in the form of dimensions, coordinates, and attributes on top of raw NumPy-like arrays, enabling a more intuitive and less error-prone experience for scientific computing and data analysis, particularly for earth sciences. As of February 2026, the current version is 2026.2.0. Xarray maintains a regular release cadence, with minor versions typically released monthly or bi-monthly.
