root_base

ROOT is a unified software package for the storage, processing, and analysis of scientific data: from its acquisition to the final visualization in form of highly customizable, publication-ready plots. It is reliable, performant and well supported, easy to use and obtain, and strives to maximize the quantity and impact of scientific results obtained per unit cost, both of human effort and computing resources. ROOT is performance critical software written in C++ and enables rapid prototyping powered by a unique C++ compliant interpreter called Cling. Cling also enables performant C++ type introspection which is a building block of automatic interoperability with Python. Thanks to its dynamic Python bindings, leveraging the cppyy technology, ROOT offers efficient, on-demand C++/Python interoperability in a uniform cross-language execution environment.
