The OpenEye toolkits are programming libraries, commonly called software development kits (SDKs), for creating custom applications, scripts and/or web services. All of the toolkits are developed in C++ to ensure exceptional performance but are also available to developers in Python, Java, and .NET for maximum flexibility and utility. Each toolkit has its own well documented and stable API with extensive examples. The toolkits are broadly categorized into two major suites: Cheminformatics and Modeling.

The OpenEye Toolkit Ecosystem
The Cheminformatics suite of toolkits provides the core foundation upon which all of the OpenEye applications and remaining toolkits are built. The Cheminformatics suite is a collection of seven individual yet interdependent toolkits that are described in the table below.
The Modeling suite of toolkits provides the core functionality underlying OpenEye's defining principle that shape & electrostatics are the two fundamental descriptors determining intermolecular interactions. Many of the toolkits in the Modeling suite are directly associated with specific OpenEye applications and can therefore be used to create new or extend existing functionality associated with those applications.
In addition to the extensive API documentation provided for each toolkit, we also provide a Python Cookbook containing an ever growing collection of solutions and practical examples for cheminformatics and molecular modeling problems.
