The main thing I use it for are large datasets, not object serialization.
(Swarm's EZGraph can create extensible datasets.)

Take a look at http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/java-hdf5-html/H5View.
Also, R can be an good way to browse and create HDF5 files, since
it has a list-oriented interactive shell instead of  a compiled 
framework like
Java or Objective C.
