JChemPaint
A Java-based 2D chemical structure editor and viewer built on the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK).
What is JChemPaint?
JChemPaint is a Java-based application and applet for editing and viewing 2D chemical structures, built on the Chemistry Development Kit (CDK). It provides a graphical interface to draw, modify, and visualize molecular diagrams, addressing the need for accessible, open-source tools in chemical informatics.
Chemists, researchers, educators, and students in computational chemistry, chemical informatics, or related fields who require a tool for creating and editing molecular structures.
As an open-source project integrated with the CDK, it offers a flexible, cross-platform alternative to proprietary chemical drawing software, with support for multiple deployment forms and native packaging.
