+title: QCSchema JSON

+
+## Specification
+
+@Note [Reference](https://molssi-qc-schema.readthedocs.io)
+
+JSON files are identified by the extension ``json`` and parsed following the ``qcschema_molecule`` or ``qcschema_input`` format.
+The ``molecule`` entry from a ``qcschema_input`` will be extracted, but there is no guarantee that the input information will be used by the program.
+
+
+## Example
+
+Caffeine molecule in ``qcschema_molecule`` format.
+
+
