Toolkit Development Platform
Programming Libraries for Creating Custom Applications, Scripts and Web Services
The OpenEye toolkits are programming libraries, commonly called software development kits (SDKs), for creating custom applications, scripts and/or web services. All of the toolkits are developed in C++ to ensure exceptional performance but are also available to developers in Python, Java, and .NET for maximum flexibility and utility. Each toolkit has its own well documented and stable API with extensive examples. The toolkits are broadly categorized into two major suites: Cheminformatics and Modeling.
After several failed attempts with open source software, I resorted to a commercial solution. The best tool I found for parsing XYZ files and assigning bond orders was the OEChem toolkit from OpenEye Scientific Software. Using OEChem, I could parse the XYZ files and correctly assign bond orders. - Pat Walters, Practical Cheminformatics
Modeling
The Modeling suite of toolkits provides the core functionality underlying OpenEye's defining principle that shape & electrostatics are the two fundamental descriptors determining intermolecular interactions. Many of the toolkits in the Modeling suite are directly associated with specific OpenEye applications and can, therefore, be used to create new or extend existing functionality associated with those applications.
