 HDF5 Converters
 ===============
 
-
+For treating `HDF5 Files
+<https://docs.hdfgroup.org/hdf5/develop/_s_p_e_c.html>`_, there are in total
+four indivdual converters corresponding to the internal structure of HDF5 files:
+the :ref:`H5FileConverter` which opens the file itself and creates further
+structure elements from HDF5 groups, datasets, and included multi-dimensional
+arrays that are in turn treated by the :ref:`H5GroupConverter`, the
+:ref:`H5DatasetConverter`, and the :ref:`H5NdarrayConverter`, respectively. You
+need to install the LinkAhead crawler with its optional ``h5crawler`` dependency
+for using these converters.
+
+
+
+H5FileConverter
+---------------
+
+This is an extension of the
+:py:class:`~caoscrawler.converters.SimpleFileConverter` class. It opens the HDF5
+file and creates children for any contained group or dataset. Additionaly, the
+root-level attributes of the HDF5 file are accessible as children.
+
+H5GroupConverter
+----------------
+
+This is an extension of the
+:py:class:`~caoscrawler.converters.DictElementConverter` class. Children are
+created for all subgroups and datasets in this HDF5 group. Additionally, the
+group-level attributes are accessible as children.
+
+H5DatasetConverter
+------------------
+
+This is an extension of the
+:py:class:`~caoscrawler.converters.DictElementConverter` class. Most
+importantly, it stores the array data in HDF5 dataset into
+:py:class:`~caoscrawler.hdf5_converters.H5NdarrayElement` which is added to its
+children, as well as the dataset attributes.
+
+H5NdarrayConverter
+------------------
+
+This converter creates a wrapper record for the contained dataset. The name of
+this record needs to be specified in the cfood definition of this converter via
+the ``recordname`` option. The RecordType of this record can be configured with
+the ``array_recordtype_name`` option and defaults to ``H5Ndarray``. Via the
+given ``recordname``, this record can be used within the cfood. Most
+importantly, this record stores the internal path of this array within the HDF5
+file in a text property, the name of which can be configured with the
+``internal_path_property_name`` option which defaults to ``internal_hdf5_path``.
