Thinking about it, since files are relative to the currently open file, I would use something like `file::` as the prefix instead if `file://` as less confusing.

The BeamPhysics extension for OpenPMD only becomes official with the 2.0 version so making things compatible with V1.1 I'm guessing is not possible.

@s-sajid-ali No. 2.0 compliant will not necessarily be 1.1 compliant.

It is in the standard.

@williamfgc Note: There is a Bmad (https://www.classe.cornell.edu/bmad/) port to Julia project in development and part of this project will be a Julia front end for the [EXT_BeamPhysics.md](https://github.com/openPMD/openPMD-standard/blob/upcoming-2.0.0/EXT_BeamPhysics.md) extension.

And good to know that xraylib is alive and well. I use it all the time! -- Cheers, David [config.log](https://github.com/tschoonj/xraylib/files/13604774/config.log)
