fields.buffers

Unified buffer system for backend-agnostic field storage in PyMetric.

This module defines the abstract infrastructure for managing numerical data buffers in PyMetric fields. The buffer system enables fields and its components to store and manipulate data independently of the underlying storage backend.

Each buffer backend implements a common interface via BufferBase, ensuring consistent behavior for array operations, unit handling, and I/O across field components.

This infrastructure allows developers to build fields and perform computations without committing to a particular memory or storage strategy, facilitating scalability, portability, and unit-safe numerical workflows.

For more details on buffers, see Fields: Data Buffers.
