Tools & ecosystem

Everything around mzPeak is open source.

Specification

• HUPO-PSI/mzPeak-specification — the canonical format specification (schemas + controlled-vocabulary rules + prose).

Reference implementation

• HUPO-PSI/mzPeak (mzpeak_prototyping) — the reference reader and writer, in Rust.

Converters

• mzML2mzPeak — convert imzML / mzML to mzPeak (and back), with full round-trip verification. Reads via mzdata.
• Roadmap: a direct vendor RAW → mzPeak path (e.g. inside ProteoWizard msconvert) so every vendor format converts in one step, embedding the original acquisition method as provenance.

Validation

• mzPeakValidator — a language-independent, profile-driven conformance validator (mzpeak-validate file.mzpeak).

Viewers

• mzPeak Explorer — open any .mzpeak directly in your browser, streamed over HTTP. Open the viewer ↗
• mzPeakIV — an imaging viewer for MS-imaging (MSI) datasets. Open the viewer ↗

See them in action on the Examples page.

Building a tool that reads or writes mzPeak? The format is language-independent — start from the specification and validate against mzPeakValidator. Contributions and feedback are welcome via the HUPO-PSI repositories.
