EDA ecosystem: an interchange format

tEDAx is a family of interchange file formats that is designed to be very simple and very easy to implement in any programming language. It complies with all the considerations of this article.

The main ideas behind this format are:

• can be implemented easily in any programming language, with a small footprint in the code
• does not have any sort of dependency (e.g. parser lib)
• can be implemented partially
• minimal commons: tries to focus on the essential features for interchange, not on extras
