This package provides NASA's Coordinated Data Analysis System Web Service Client Library.
The Coordinated Data Analysis System (CDAS) supports simultaneous multi-mission, multi-instrument selection and comparison of science data among a wide range of current space missions. While CDAWeb provides access to this data through an HTML-based user interface, these Web services provides a (Web) application programmming interface (API) to CDAS. If you are not a software developer and simply want to use the existing web (HTML) interface to CDAS, then return to the main CDAWeb page. If you are developing software that requires science data from any of the CDAWeb datasets, then the CDAS Web services will provide access to the data without having to explicitly find,download, and read the data files.
