It adds standardized fields to STAC items and assets for describing how they can be opened with xarray, including storage options, open parameters, and engine configuration. This is useful when working with raster imagery and multidimensional data in STAC catalogs.\n\nThe extension sits on top of PySTAC and pystac-core, providing a thin API layer to attach and work with xarray-specific metadata. It's designed for developers building STAC workflows that need to document how datasets should be loaded into xarray, particularly in scientific and geospatial contexts where standardized asset descriptions matter.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are building or working with STAC catalogs that include raster or multidimensional data and need to standardize how those assets are opened with xarray. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and carries a permissive license. Install it only if your workflow requires the Xarray Assets Extension; if you're using base PySTAC without xarray asset metadata, it's not necessary."},"id":"pystac-ext-xarray-assets","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-xarray-assets","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pystac-ext-xarray-assets.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pystac-ext-xarray-assets/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pystac-ext-xarray-assets","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Xarray Assets extension for PySTAC"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":3981889,"position":2413,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
