OpenBabel is a free software project that aims to create a cross-platform program and associated libraries for converting chemical file formats. It can read, write and convert over 90 formats from the fields of molecular modeling , chemistry and related fields. It is licensed under the GNU GPL and available for Microsoft Windows , GNU / Linux and macOS . By the end of September 2009 it had been downloaded about 129,000 times.
OpenBabel and JOELib are a modification of the OELib - cheminformatics library. OELib is based on the idea of the original Babel program and the unpublished object-oriented library OBabel .
