not sure what asdf is?
I assume its this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Scientific_Data_FormatA file format with a YAML header followed by binary or ascii data. Human readable in design but still has binary/ascii data.
Technically its just a block based binary file format but they replaced the header with a human readable header, instead of a binary header.
