Memory Format

In-memory Daf storage format.

struct MemoryDaf <: DafWriter ... end

MemoryDaf(; name = "memory", packed::Bool = false)

Simple in-memory storage.

This just keeps everything in-memory, similarly to the way an AnnData object works; that is, this is a lightweight object that just keeps references to the data it is given.

This is the "default" storage type you should use, unless you need to persist the data on the disk.

The packed kwarg is accepted for API uniformity with the disk-based formats but has no effect — MemoryDaf stores typed Julia arrays directly, with no on-disk encoding. If packed = true is requested, a @debug line is emitted once to flag the request, and the value is otherwise ignored.
