NAME¶

cif2json - parse CIF file and print out the structure generated by CIF parser.

SYNOPSIS¶

cif2json [options] input.cif [input2.cif ...]

DESCRIPTION¶

Parse CIF file and print out the structure generated by CIF parser.

OPTIONS¶

--fix-errors
Try to fix syntax errors in the input CIF files that can
be corrected unambiguously.

--dont-fix-errors, --no-fix-errors
Do not try to fix syntax errors in input CIF files (default).

--strict
Strictly adhere to JSON syntax, i.e., make a top level
list container for CIF data blocks and put comma (",")
separators between consecutive CIF data blocks.

--no-strict, --relaxed, --stream, --concatenate
Print stream of JSON objects, where an object stands for
a CIF data block. Such output does not include comma (",")
separators between top level objects, thus streaming
parsers have to be used (default).

--canonical
Print JSON objects with key-value pairs sorted in a
canonical way. The usage of this option is discouraged
due to the added overhead.

--no-canonical
Print JSON object with key-value pairs sorted in the
order Perl stores them. Due to this, the outputs might
differ between different runs of the script with
identical parameters (default).

--use-c-parser
Use Perl & C parser for CIF parsing (default).

--use-perl-parser
Use Perl parser for CIF parsing.

--help,--usage
Output a short usage message (this message) and exit.

--version
