BioCif.Core 0.9.0

The core library for parsing all types of Crystallographic Information File (CIF) such as the PDBx/mmCIF format from the protein data bank (PDB).

Contains the core tokenizer and parser.

Usage

To access the raw stream of tokens:

using BioCif.Core.Tokenization;
using BioCif.Core.Tokens;

using (var fileStream = File.Open(@"C:\path\to\data.cif"))
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(fileStream))
{
    foreach (Token token in CifTokenizer.Tokenize(streamReader))
    {
        Console.WriteLine(token.TokenType);
    }
}

To access the parsed CIF structure:

using (var fileStream = File.Open(@"C:\path\to\data.cif"))
{
    Cif cif = CifParser.Parse(fileStream);

    DataBlock block = cif.DataBlocks[0];
    Console.WriteLine($"Block name: {block.Name}");

    foreach (IDataBlockMember member in block.Members)
    {
        // ...
    }
}
