Sofar is maybe the most complete Python package for the SOFA file format so
far. SOFA files store spatially distributed acoustic data such as impulse
responses or transfer functions. They are defined by the AES69-2022 standard
responses or transfer functions. They are defined by the AES69 standard
(see references). These are the key features of sofar

- Read, edit, and write SOFA files
- Add custom attributes to SOFA files
- Full Verification of the content of a SOFA files against AES69-2022
- Full Verification of the content of a SOFA files against AES69
- Upgrade data that uses outdated SOFA conventions
- Open license allows unrestricted use
- sofar is tested using continuous integration on
- Uses a complete definition of the AES69-2022 standard (see references) maintained at [sofa_conventions](https://github.com/pyfar/sofa_conventions)

In case the AES search engine works, this will always link to the lates version. Currently the search engine does not work or the latest version (2022) is not available from AES.
