What is libkim-api-doc

libkim-api-doc is:

The KIM API is an Application Programming Interface for atomistic simulations. The API provides a standard for exchanging information between atomistic simulation codes (molecular dynamics, molecular statics, lattice dynamics, Monte Carlo, etc.) and interatomic models (potentials or force fields). It also includes a set of library routines for using the API with bindings for:

FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90/95, Fortran 2003 C, C++

Atomistic simulation codes that support the KIM API work seamlessly with the KIM-compliant interatomic models (KIM Models) distributed on this website. The interface is computationally efficient and often requires relatively minor changes to existing codes.
