== Common Data Form Language (CDL) ==

SOFA conventions can be implemented without any programming by using CDL as suggested for netCDF. CDL files allow for a platform-independent interpretation of specifications and can be compiled to a binary netCDF file using the ncgen tool from the netCDF package:

ncgen -b -o mySOFAfile.sofa -k3 mySOFAconvention.cdl

The binaries of the nc-tools are available at the Unidata.
