Abstract
The vast amounts of data to be collected by the Giant Radio Array for Neutrino Detection (GRAND) and its prototype — GRANDProto300 — require the use of a data format very efficient in terms of i/o speed and compression. At the same time, the data should be easily accessible, without the knowledge of the intricacies of the format, both for bulk processing and for detailed event-by-event analysis and reconstruction. We present the format and the structure prepared for GRAND data, the concept of the data-processing chain, and data-oriented and analysis-oriented interfaces written in Python.

How to cite
Metadata are provided both in "article" format (very similar to INSPIRE) as this helps creating
very compact bibliographies which can be beneficial to authors and
readers, and in "proceeding" format
which is more detailed and complete.
