International Tables for Crystallography
| Historical software International Tables for Crystallography (2026). Vol. G, ch. 8.4 [ doi:10.1107/97809553602060001038 ] Abstract This chapter reviews the general-purpose software tools available for managing CIF data that rely solely or largely on the syntactic structure of the CIF. That is, they allow the checking, extraction, editing or manipulation of arbitrary data items without regard to any specifically crystallographic computation. Some lightweight libraries are also described. The programs reviewed fall within the following categories: editing tools; software for data-name validation; transforming CIFs into alternative syntax representations; rapid development tools; and tools particularly useful for macromolecular applications using mmCIF. |
