There’s already a chemical JSON, inspired by CML. It’s used by Avogadro and has 
support in OpenBabel. Several computational packages also support it.

If you have suggestions or ideas on extending it, please submit them. It’s 
intended to be extendable, particularly through key/value properties.

Best,
Geoff
