This library provides tools for creating, exporting, and importing HEPData submissions. The Application Programming Interface (API) is relatively simple and decidedly object oriented. However, the library provides many useful features when working with HEPData submissions:

• Flexible specification of Submission meta data and Table meta information.

• Flexible specification of table columns split between Independent variable declaration and Dependent variable declaration.

• Flexible methods to Fill in values

• A suggestion of how to specify Common systematic uncertainties

• Rounding to n significant digits

• Directly Visualising the data with selection of columns, legends, etc.

• Exporting the final submission to YAML format, including as a Zip or Tar (possibly compressed) archive directly

• Importing data directly from HEPData downloads

• Direct validation of data, both on input and output (see hepdata.io.Validator)

• Flexible propagation of uncertainties, including asymmetric uncertainties, stacking of uncertainties, and so on (see hepdata.Propagator and hepdata.combiner)

• Names database to ensure use of names recognised by HEPData (see hepdata.names)

• Easy table creation with automatic phrase specification (see hepdata.names.Helper and functions in hepdata.names).
