How to make your data portable?

After an equation-of-state-fitting, for instance, you want to save the data to share with a colleague or for future use. Julia provides several ways to do this. Below I will list one recommended way: saving it to a JLD format by JLD2.jl package.

JLD is a specific "dialect" of HDF5, a cross-platform, multi-language data storage format most frequently used for scientific data.

Install JLD2.jl and FileIO.jl packages.

using Pkg
Pkg.add("FileIO")
Pkg.add("JLD2")

Create some EquationsOfStateOfSolidss:

using EquationsOfStateOfSolids, Unitful, UnitfulAtomic
m = Murnaghan(224.501825, 0.00060479524074699499, 3.723835, -323.417686)
bm = BirchMurnaghan3rd(224.4445656763778u"bohr^3", 9.194980249913018u"GPa", 3.7403684211716297, -161.70885710742223u"hartree")

Save them to file "eos.jld2":

using JLD2, FileIO
@save "eos.jld2" m bm

On another computer, or some days later, load them into REPL:
```
using EquationsOfStateOfSolids, Unitful, UnitfulAtomic
@load "eos.jld2" m bm
```
Now variables m and bm represent the original Parameters:
```
m.b0
m.b′0
bm.v0
bm.b0
```

For more details on the JLD format, please refer to JLD.jl's doc, JLD2.jl's doc or this discussion.
