Description:
Open Babel is a chemical toolbox designed to speak the many languages of chemical data. It's an open,
collaborative project allowing anyone to search, convert, analyze, or store data from molecular modeling,
chemistry, solid-state materials, biochemistry, or related areas.
OpenBabel is an open source computational chemistry package written in C++.
The software is available for the Linux, Windows and MAC operating system. The OpenBabel implementation
has no dependencies on other software packages.
