Simple examples of reading and writing NeXus data files
are provided in the :ref:`Introduction` chapter and also
in the :ref:`NAPI` chapter.  Here, three examples are provided
showing how to write a NeXus data file without using the NAPI.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, it is necessary to write or read
NeXus files without using the routines provided by the :ref:`NAPI`.
Each example in this section is written to support just one of the low-level file formats
supported by NeXus (HDF4, HDF5, or XML).
