file formats for reactions

Would you add the 'rxn' format to the 'Save Reaction' button on the Reactor jsp page? (http://www.jchem.com/examples/reactor/jsp/index.jsp)





Also, would you summerize the tradeoffs between the different formats that can be used for saving a reaction?

Reaction data - like rules - are stored as fields inside the reaction file. Thus, you can store a reaction in MRV format or RDF format, since both support fields. The RXN file format supports reaction equations, but it does not support fields. That's why "smart" reactions cannot be saved in RXN files.





I think, that both MRV and RDF formats are equally good for storing your reactions. However, I usually use the XML based MRV file format.
