It has deep integration with Python and sunpy and Astropy as well as\nimplementations in other languages. It can be used to store known Python\nobjects in a portable, well defined file format. It is primarily useful for\nstoring complex Astropy and SunPy objects in a way that can be loaded back into\nthe same form as they were saved.\n\n
This example requires astropy>=3.2 and asdf>=2.3.0
