Introduction
AgMIP Translators are used throughout the AgMIP toolchain to handle translation of files between model formats or to an intermediate representation (either in-memory as a HashMap or as a JSON string to store in a database). The development of these translators is vital to accomplishing to goals of AgMIP, as they allow for multiple models to use the same information in a model-specific way. Most of the work starting these translators comes from our AgMIP Development Sprints, where developers work closely with modelers and other scientists to generate model-ready files and to convert model outputs to a unified structure.
