| General considerations in programming CIF applications International Tables for Crystallography (2026). Vol. G, ch. 5.1 [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060001024 ] Abstract This chapter is an introduction for programmers new to CIF to ways of creating new `CIF-aware' applications and of adapting existing applications to make them CIF-aware. We review general considerations in programming CIF-aware applications, ranging from leaving an application CIF-unaware and relying on external filter utilities to do the job, through engineering an existing application to directly read and write CIFs, to writing a new CIF-aware application from scratch. |
