What is the suggested way of saving a bunch of variables to a file at this point, JLD or JLD2? The last thread comparing the two packages was JLD2’s announcement a year ago, and people seemed split over which to use. It doesn’t seem that there have been any commits to JLD.jl in a year.

JLD.jl vs JLD2.jl

JLD.jl is not yet compatible with Julia v0.7/ v1.0 .
If you’re on v1.0 then JLD2.jl is the way to go AFAICT.
