        This method lightly wraps :func:`zarr.core.array.create_array`.

        Parameters
        ----------
        name : str
            The name of the array relative to the group. If ``path`` is ``None``, the array will be located
            at the root of the store.
        shape : ChunkCoords
            Shape of the array.
        dtype : npt.DTypeLike
            Data type of the array.
        chunks : ChunkCoords, optional
            Chunk shape of the array.
            If not specified, default are guessed based on the shape and dtype.
        shards : ChunkCoords, optional
            Shard shape of the array. The default value of ``None`` results in no sharding at all.
        filters : Iterable[Codec], optional
            Iterable of filters to apply to each chunk of the array, in order, before serializing that
            chunk to bytes.

            For Zarr format 3, a "filter" is a codec that takes an array and returns an array,
            and these values must be instances of ``ArrayArrayCodec``, or dict or string representations
            of ``ArrayArrayCodec``.
            If no ``filters`` are provided, a default set of filters will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_filters``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default filters.

            For Zarr format 2, a "filter" can be any numcodecs codec; you should ensure that the
            the order if your filters is consistent with the behavior of each filter.
            If no ``filters`` are provided, a default set of filters will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v2_default_filters``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default filters.
        compressors : Iterable[Codec], optional
            List of compressors to apply to the array. Compressors are applied in order, and after any
            filters are applied (if any are specified) and the data is serialized into bytes.

            For Zarr format 3, a "compressor" is a codec that takes a bytestream, and
            returns another bytestream. Multiple compressors my be provided for Zarr format 3.
            If no ``compressors`` are provided, a default set of compressors will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_compressors``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default compressors.

            For Zarr format 2, a "compressor" can be any numcodecs codec. Only a single compressor may
            be provided for Zarr format 2.
            If no ``compressor`` is provided, a default compressor will be used.
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit the default compressor.
        compressor : Codec, optional
            Deprecated in favor of ``compressors``.
        serializer : dict[str, JSON] | ArrayBytesCodec, optional
            Array-to-bytes codec to use for encoding the array data.
            Zarr format 3 only. Zarr format 2 arrays use implicit array-to-bytes conversion.
            If no ``serializer`` is provided, a default serializer will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_serializer``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
        fill_value : Any, optional
            Fill value for the array.
        order : {"C", "F"}, optional
            The memory of the array (default is "C").
            For Zarr format 2, this parameter sets the memory order of the array.
            For Zarr format 3, this parameter is deprecated, because memory order
            is a runtime parameter for Zarr format 3 arrays. The recommended way to specify the memory
            order for Zarr format 3 arrays is via the ``config`` parameter, e.g. ``{'config': 'C'}``.
            If no ``order`` is provided, a default order will be used.
            This default can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.order`` in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
        attributes : dict, optional
            Attributes for the array.
        chunk_key_encoding : ChunkKeyEncoding, optional
            A specification of how the chunk keys are represented in storage.
            For Zarr format 3, the default is ``{"name": "default", "separator": "/"}}``.
            For Zarr format 2, the default is ``{"name": "v2", "separator": "."}}``.
        dimension_names : Iterable[str], optional
            The names of the dimensions (default is None).
            Zarr format 3 only. Zarr format 2 arrays should not use this parameter.
        storage_options : dict, optional
            If using an fsspec URL to create the store, these will be passed to the backend implementation.
            Ignored otherwise.
        overwrite : bool, default False
            Whether to overwrite an array with the same name in the store, if one exists.
        config : ArrayConfig or ArrayConfigLike, optional
            Runtime configuration for the array.

        """
        Create a hierarchy of arrays or groups rooted at this group.

        This function will parse its input to ensure that the hierarchy is complete. Any implicit groups
        will be inserted as needed. For example, an input like
        ```{'a/b': GroupMetadata}``` will be parsed to
        ```{'': GroupMetadata, 'a': GroupMetadata, 'b': Groupmetadata}```.

        Explicitly specifying a root group, e.g. with ``nodes = {'': GroupMetadata()}`` is an error
        because this group instance is the root group.

        After input parsing, this function then creates all the nodes in the hierarchy concurrently.

        Arrays and Groups are yielded in the order they are created. This order is not stable and
        should not be relied on.

        Parameters
        ----------
        nodes : dict[str, GroupMetadata | ArrayV3Metadata | ArrayV2Metadata]
            A dictionary defining the hierarchy. The keys are the paths of the nodes in the hierarchy,
            relative to the path of the group. The values are instances of ``GroupMetadata`` or ``ArrayMetadata``. Note that
            all values must have the same ``zarr_format`` as the parent group -- it is an error to mix zarr versions in the
            same hierarchy.

            Leading "/" characters from keys will be removed.
        overwrite : bool
            Whether to overwrite existing nodes. Defaults to ``False``, in which case an error is
            raised instead of overwriting an existing array or group.

            This function will not erase an existing group unless that group is explicitly named in
            ``nodes``. If ``nodes`` defines implicit groups, e.g. ``{`'a/b/c': GroupMetadata}``, and a
            group already exists at path ``a``, then this function will leave the group at ``a`` as-is.

        """
        Create a hierarchy of arrays or groups rooted at this group.

        This function will parse its input to ensure that the hierarchy is complete. Any implicit groups
        will be inserted as needed. For example, an input like
        ```{'a/b': GroupMetadata}``` will be parsed to
        ```{'': GroupMetadata, 'a': GroupMetadata, 'b': Groupmetadata}```.

        Explicitly specifying a root group, e.g. with ``nodes = {'': GroupMetadata()}`` is an error
        because this group instance is the root group.

        After input parsing, this function then creates all the nodes in the hierarchy concurrently.

        Arrays and Groups are yielded in the order they are created. This order is not stable and
        should not be relied on.

        Parameters
        ----------
        nodes : dict[str, GroupMetadata | ArrayV3Metadata | ArrayV2Metadata]
            A dictionary defining the hierarchy. The keys are the paths of the nodes in the hierarchy,
            relative to the path of the group. The values are instances of ``GroupMetadata`` or ``ArrayMetadata``. Note that
            all values must have the same ``zarr_format`` as the parent group -- it is an error to mix zarr versions in the
            same hierarchy.

            Leading "/" characters from keys will be removed.
        overwrite : bool
            Whether to overwrite existing nodes. Defaults to ``False``, in which case an error is
            raised instead of overwriting an existing array or group.

            This function will not erase an existing group unless that group is explicitly named in
            ``nodes``. If ``nodes`` defines implicit groups, e.g. ``{`'a/b/c': GroupMetadata}``, and a
            group already exists at path ``a``, then this function will leave the group at ``a`` as-is.

        shape : ChunkCoords
            Shape of the array.
        dtype : npt.DTypeLike
            Data type of the array.
        chunks : ChunkCoords, optional
            Chunk shape of the array.
            If not specified, default are guessed based on the shape and dtype.
        shards : ChunkCoords, optional
            Shard shape of the array. The default value of ``None`` results in no sharding at all.
        filters : Iterable[Codec], optional
            Iterable of filters to apply to each chunk of the array, in order, before serializing that
            chunk to bytes.

            For Zarr format 3, a "filter" is a codec that takes an array and returns an array,
            and these values must be instances of ``ArrayArrayCodec``, or dict or string representations
            of ``ArrayArrayCodec``.
            If no ``filters`` are provided, a default set of filters will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_filters``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default filters.

            For Zarr format 2, a "filter" can be any numcodecs codec; you should ensure that the
            the order if your filters is consistent with the behavior of each filter.
            If no ``filters`` are provided, a default set of filters will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v2_default_filters``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default filters.
        compressors : Iterable[Codec], optional
            List of compressors to apply to the array. Compressors are applied in order, and after any
            filters are applied (if any are specified) and the data is serialized into bytes.

            For Zarr format 3, a "compressor" is a codec that takes a bytestream, and
            returns another bytestream. Multiple compressors my be provided for Zarr format 3.
            If no ``compressors`` are provided, a default set of compressors will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_compressors``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default compressors.

            For Zarr format 2, a "compressor" can be any numcodecs codec. Only a single compressor may
            be provided for Zarr format 2.
            If no ``compressor`` is provided, a default compressor will be used.
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit the default compressor.
        compressor : Codec, optional
            Deprecated in favor of ``compressors``.
        serializer : dict[str, JSON] | ArrayBytesCodec, optional
            Array-to-bytes codec to use for encoding the array data.
            Zarr format 3 only. Zarr format 2 arrays use implicit array-to-bytes conversion.
            If no ``serializer`` is provided, a default serializer will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_serializer``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
        fill_value : Any, optional

        order : {"C", "F"}, optional
            The memory of the array (default is "C").
            For Zarr format 2, this parameter sets the memory order of the array.
            For Zarr format 3, this parameter is deprecated, because memory order

            Attributes for the array.
        chunk_key_encoding : ChunkKeyEncoding, optional
            A specification of how the chunk keys are represented in storage.
            For Zarr format 3, the default is ``{"name": "default", "separator": "/"}}``.
            For Zarr format 2, the default is ``{"name": "v2", "separator": "."}}``.
        dimension_names : Iterable[str], optional

            The name of the array relative to the group. If ``path`` is ``None``, the array will be located
            at the root of the store.
        shape : ChunkCoords

        dtype : npt.DTypeLike
            Data type of the array.
        chunks : ChunkCoords, optional
            Chunk shape of the array.
            If not specified, default are guessed based on the shape and dtype.
        shards : ChunkCoords, optional
            Shard shape of the array. The default value of ``None`` results in no sharding at all.
        filters : Iterable[Codec], optional
            Iterable of filters to apply to each chunk of the array, in order, before serializing that
            chunk to bytes.

            For Zarr format 3, a "filter" is a codec that takes an array and returns an array,
            and these values must be instances of ``ArrayArrayCodec``, or dict or string representations
            of ``ArrayArrayCodec``.
            If no ``filters`` are provided, a default set of filters will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_filters``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default filters.

            For Zarr format 2, a "filter" can be any numcodecs codec; you should ensure that the
            the order if your filters is consistent with the behavior of each filter.
            If no ``filters`` are provided, a default set of filters will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v2_default_filters``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default filters.
        compressors : Iterable[Codec], optional
            List of compressors to apply to the array. Compressors are applied in order, and after any
            filters are applied (if any are specified) and the data is serialized into bytes.

            For Zarr format 3, a "compressor" is a codec that takes a bytestream, and
            returns another bytestream. Multiple compressors my be provided for Zarr format 3.
            If no ``compressors`` are provided, a default set of compressors will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_compressors``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit default compressors.

            For Zarr format 2, a "compressor" can be any numcodecs codec. Only a single compressor may
            be provided for Zarr format 2.
            If no ``compressor`` is provided, a default compressor will be used.
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
            Use ``None`` to omit the default compressor.
        compressor : Codec, optional
            Deprecated in favor of ``compressors``.
        serializer : dict[str, JSON] | ArrayBytesCodec, optional
            Array-to-bytes codec to use for encoding the array data.
            Zarr format 3 only. Zarr format 2 arrays use implicit array-to-bytes conversion.
            If no ``serializer`` is provided, a default serializer will be used.
            These defaults can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.v3_default_serializer``
            in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
        fill_value : Any, optional
            Fill value for the array.
        order : {"C", "F"}, optional
            The memory of the array (default is "C").
            For Zarr format 2, this parameter sets the memory order of the array.
            For Zarr format 3, this parameter is deprecated, because memory order
            is a runtime parameter for Zarr format 3 arrays. The recommended way to specify the memory
            order for Zarr format 3 arrays is via the ``config`` parameter, e.g. ``{'config': 'C'}``.
            If no ``order`` is provided, a default order will be used.
            This default can be changed by modifying the value of ``array.order`` in :mod:`zarr.core.config`.
        attributes : dict, optional
            Attributes for the array.
        chunk_key_encoding : ChunkKeyEncoding, optional
            A specification of how the chunk keys are represented in storage.
            For Zarr format 3, the default is ``{"name": "default", "separator": "/"}}``.
            For Zarr format 2, the default is ``{"name": "v2", "separator": "."}}``.
        dimension_names : Iterable[str], optional
            The names of the dimensions (default is None).
            Zarr format 3 only. Zarr format 2 arrays should not use this parameter.
        storage_options : dict, optional
            If using an fsspec URL to create the store, these will be passed to the backend implementation.
            Ignored otherwise.
        overwrite : bool, default False
            Whether to overwrite an array with the same name in the store, if one exists.
        config : ArrayConfig or ArrayConfigLike, optional
            Runtime configuration for the array.
        data : array_like
            The data to fill the array with.

    ```{'a/b': GroupMetadata}``` will be parsed to
    ```{'': GroupMetadata, 'a': GroupMetadata, 'b': Groupmetadata}```

    After input parsing, this function then creates all the nodes in the hierarchy concurrently.

    Arrays and Groups are yielded in the order they are created. This order is not stable and
    should not be relied on.

        Parameters
    ----------
    store : Store
        The storage backend to use.
    nodes : dict[str, GroupMetadata | ArrayV3Metadata | ArrayV2Metadata]
        A dictionary defining the hierarchy. The keys are the paths of the nodes in the hierarchy,
        relative to the root of the ``Store``. The root of the store can be specified with the empty
        string ``''``. The values are instances of ``GroupMetadata`` or ``ArrayMetadata``. Note that
        all values must have the same ``zarr_format`` -- it is an error to mix zarr versions in the
        same hierarchy.

        Leading "/" characters from keys will be removed.
    overwrite : bool
        Whether to overwrite existing nodes. Defaults to ``False``, in which case an error is
        raised instead of overwriting an existing array or group.

        This function will not erase an existing group unless that group is explicitly named in
        ``nodes``. If ``nodes`` defines implicit groups, e.g. ``{`'a/b/c': GroupMetadata}``, and a
        group already exists at path ``a``, then this function will leave the group at ``a`` as-is.

    Yields
    ------
    tuple[str, AsyncGroup | AsyncArray]
        This function yields (path, node) pairs, in the order the nodes were created.
