As part of this change in the default ECMWF software stack, ecCodes will become the default GRIB decoder at the centre superseding GRIB API. ecCodes provides a set of equivalent command line tools and compatible libraries. All the variables defined by the grib_api module for the compilation of programs and the python bindings are also provided for backwards compatibility. See the GRIB-API migration page for details on the differences between GRIB API and ecCodes.
