Provide better examples and documentation for JSON and YAML input #257

Open sobolevnrm opened 1 year ago

sobolevnrm commented 1 year ago

The JSON documentation exists, it just isn't very good. This section of the manual provides an overview of the keys and values expected in JSON- or YAML-format input. Sorry we don't have more direct examples -- I'll create an issue to generate these in the future.

These examples should include specific invocation instructions per https://github.com/Electrostatics/apbs/issues/256#issuecomment-1327095557.

Have you ever added examples of using json or yaml with APBS to the manual?

sobolevnrm commented 1 year ago

No. However, we welcome community help to improve our documentation. Thank you.

Can apbs program directly read yaml file as PBSA calculation input, instead of old plain text format? If so, what is the particular command?

sobolevnrm commented 1 year ago

This is high on my to-do list but I am not sure when I'll be able to get started.
