# What is this tool?

Let's all be frank, root sucks and the root file format is horrible.
It's among humanities worst pieces of software. With this small tool I hope to fix
the damage that was done, at least a little, by converting root files into
native Python formats.


It's using [Numpy](https://numpy.org) and a library called [Uproot](https://github.com/scikit-hep/uproot5)
to read and process these damn root files. So far it is specialist for one task
and I will have to work on it to make it actually viable for more use cases. That task
is to extract PXD data from Belle 2 data files.
