> This project follows the [semver](http://semver.org) pro forma and uses the [git-flow branching model](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/ "original
blog post").

## Description
The XAM package provides I/O and utilities for manipulating SAM and BAM formatted alignment map files.

## Installation
You can install the XAM package from the [Julia REPL](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/getting-started/).
Press `]` to enter [pkg mode](https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/), then enter the following command:
```julia
add XAM
```

If you are interested in the cutting edge of the development, please check out the [develop branch](https://github.com/BioJulia/XAM.jl/tree/develop) to try new features before release.

## Testing
XAM is tested against Julia `1.X` on Linux, OS X, and Windows.
