The goal of this project is to create a project with which one can easily access the contents of a GRIB2 file from a .NET project. Given the GRIB2 specification covers quite a lot use-cases you're expected to implement a template yourself, if it's not yet available. If you ask nicely a maintainer might help you out if you provide a GRIB file with said templates so that we can run at least a few tests.

The following list shows which features have already been implemented, or still need to be implemented. The list with features below is based on the documentation as found here.
