7 | 7 | ## Description |
8 | 8 | This is a Rust library helping to parse, edit and save crystallographic PDB/mmCIF files. It can read most atomic data from PDB/mmCIF files. Its high level goal is to create a stable, efficient and easy to use interface to PDB/mmCIF files written in pure Rust. |
|
16 | 16 | ## Why |
17 | 17 | It started as a way to use Rust in a scientific project. But it moved to an open source project because I think that using Rust in scientific computing is be really helpful and a great addition alongside the ubiquitous Python. So by creating it I hope to extend the usability of Rust a little bit more. Since Nature published an [article](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03382-2) (technology feature) which laid out the benefits of using Rust and showed that Rust is used more and more, I am planning on working more with Rust in scientific projects. And I think that the best way to help Rust move forward (in the scientific community) is by creating more support for scientific projects in Rust. |

25 | 19 | ## Supported features |
26 | 20 | As the main goal of this library is to allow access to the atomical data many metadata features of both PDB and mmCIF are unsupported. For both file formats the recent versions (PDB v3.30 and mmcif v5.338) are used, but as both are quite stable file formats the exact version should not matter to end users. |
