Do I understand correctly that the only benefit is that the "CIF-JSON"string will be in the first bytes of the file?It's still not enough to tell if JMol can handle this file. It maycontain a structure that JMol can show or structure factors that (Iguess) JMol can't show.And once the JSON is parsed it's equally easy to check for the "CIF-JSON" key.
The downside is one more layer of wrapping.json["CIF-JSON"].block.itemvsjson.block.item_______________________________________________cif-developers mailing listcif-developers@iucr.orghttp://mailman.iucr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cif-developers
