[Spglib-users] Spglib in JavaScript for in-browser usage

[Evgeny B. <eb...@ti...>]

<p>Dear Dr. Atsushi Togo-san and Spglib users,</p><p>as you probably know any C code can be transpiled to JavaScript with the aid of source-to-source code compiler. After a successful experience with converting RasMol to JavaScript (https://bitbucket.org/jam31/rasmoljs), i decided to keep on with Spglib. This is to draw your attention to the result, SpglibJS. Now to determine crystalline symmetry you need only a browser (without any plugins). SpglibJS is a pure experiment, and to foster any possible ideas and usecases i created an example web-app, providing symmetry validation functionality for CIF or POSCAR files. An explicit symmetry information is absent in POSCARs and often omitted in CIFs, so this web-app provides a quick way of checking the symmetry. No server is used after loading, so it is possible to drop a file there and check it without Internet connection (and without any concerns about privacy).</p><p>The link is https://github.com/blokhin/spglibjs</p><p>I would be happy if you find any further inspiration from my code. Lastly, a big thanks to Dr. Atsushi Togo-san for Spglib.</p><p>Regards,<br />Evgeny Blokhin</p>
