What is `libsbml`

LibSBML is an open-source programming library designed to read, write, manipulate, translate, and validate SBML files and data streams. It is not an application itself (though it does come with example programs), but rather a library you can embed in other applications. LibSBML 5.19.0 understands SBML Level 3 Version 1 and older, as well as the draft SBML Level 2 Layout proposal by Gauges, Rost, Sahle and Wegner. It’s written in ISO C and C++ but can also be used from C#, Java, MATLAB, Octave, PERL, Python, and Ruby. libsbml 5.19.0 4.fc34 x86_64 2.3 M libsbml-5.19.0-4.fc34.src.rpm fedora Systems Biology Markup Language library http LGPLv2+ LibSBML is an open-source programming library designed to read, write, manipulate, translate, and validate SBML files and data streams.
