.. currentmodule:: simplicial.file
There are lots of standard formats for networks, but none (as far as I
know) for simplicial complexes. In the absence of a standard,
simplicial uses the most portable storage format, which would be
JSON. We may add new formats if required, since JSON isn't very
efficient especially for large complexes.
The basic functions read and write JSON-encoded complexes.
.. autofunction:: read_json
.. autofunction:: write_json
For special cases, the raw conversion routines are also available.
.. autofunction:: as_json
.. autofunction:: as_simplicial_complex
.. autoclass:: JSONSimplicialComplexEncoder
