Cubico

An extensive measurement, unit, & data conversion library for .NET.

Nuget Package

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Cubico/

What can it be used for?

Taking and storing measurements reliably, performing calculations between different units of measurement, and sending measurements over webservices, making it very easy to work with! Also, it can be used as an extensible unit converter, providing the ability to easily add units of measurement and their calculations between units very easily and precisely.

Example Usage

var twoFeet = new Measurement(2, Units.Length.Feet);
var twelveInches = new Measurement(12, Units.Length.Inches);
var result = twoFeet + twelveInches;
Console.WriteLine(result.GetValueAs(Units.Length.Yards).ToString()); // = 1 yard

Features

• Over 17 classes of units
• Over 130 units of measure
• One immutable type called "Measurement" that implements IEquatable, IComparable with operator overloads.
• Unit enum for easy browsing and finding of units.
• ToString implementation for easy string formatting.
• Easily extensible by editing an XML file.
• Over 2000 unit tests to ensure quality and precision.

Unit Categories to Date

• Area
• Digital Storage (Bytes)
• Energy
• Fluid Volume
• Force
• Hexadecimals
• Length
• Mass
• Pressure
• Momentum
• Plane Angle
• Power
• Velocity
• Temperature
• Time
• Volume
• Radioactivity

Accuracy & Precision

The accuracy of unit conversions is one of the missions for this library. From experience, a lot of the unit converters out there are not precise, especially when scientific precision is needed. Since using double precision is not precise by definition, it becomes very hard to come up with unit conversions that are precise. This library has come up with approximately 2000 unit tests, each testing a conversion with various test scenarios.

Installing

Run the following command in the Package Manager Console or go to the NuGet site for the complete relase history.

Contributions

Feel free to add to the units of measure list. All I ask is that you perform matching tests for each type of conversion. Please follow the pattern performed in each test.
