pynxtools-xps: A pynxtools reader plugin for X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data

pynxtools-xps is a reader plugin for pynxtools (https://github.com/FAIRmat-NFDI/pynxtools) written in Python. pynxtools-xps is a tool for reading and translating data from various propietary and open data formats from technology partners and the wider X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy community and standardizing it such that it is compliant with the NeXus application definition NXmpes and NXxps (https://fairmat-nfdi.github.io/nexus_definitions/). pynxtools-xps is developed both as a standalone reader and as a tool within NOMAD, an open-source data management platform for materials science ((https://nomad-lab.eu/nomad-lab/). The work is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) - 460197019 (FAIRmat) (https://gepris.dfg.de/gepris/projekt/460197019?language=en).
