MatFileRW: Read and write MATLAB MAT-files from Java

MatFileRW is a library which allows reading and writing MAT files. Have a look at MatIOTest.java to see each part in use.

As far as compatibility, the TL;DR is that it will work with any MAT-File with default settings. The dirty details are that this library works with v6 and v7, but not v4 or v7.3.

• v4 is the default format before R8
• v6 is the default format from R8 to R13
• v7 is the default format from R14 to present (every R20XXX release)
• MATLAB does not export to v7.3 by default.
• The Mathworks website has more details.

codemercenary/jmatio and ca.mjdsystems.jmatio

Since JMatIO wasn't updated for a while, lots of people made forks. One of the most prominent was Jason Lokerson's, hosted on GitHub as codemercenary/JMatIO. It included several improvements, but all the packages were renamed to ca.mjdsystems.jmatio. Starting with 2.0.0, all of the improvements from MatFileRW and ca.mjdsystems.jmatio have been merged into the com.jmatio packages.

If you are a user of the ca.mjdsystems packages, you should download com.diffplug.matsim:matfilerw:2.0.0.TRANSITION from mavenCentral. This contains the ca.mjdsystems.jmatio packages unchanged, but marked as deprecated. After you have removed all dependencies on the ca.mjdsystems.jmatio packages, you will be able to use the regular 2.0.0 version, and its descendants.

Acknowledgements

This project is forked from the JMatIO project originally maintained on SourceForge, and now maintained on GitHub. The name was changed to ensure that we don't infringe the original project's license, but we did not change the package names, so this project is binary compatible with the original JMatIO. We are very thankful to Wojciech Gradkowski for creating JMatIO, but this fork is in no way associated with or endorsed by any authors of the original project.

We have fixed some bugs and added some features (see the changelog), and we will maintain this library into the future. We're happy to accept pull requests too!
