SYNchrotron Elements Dictionary.
A python library to define the components (sources, mirrors, crystals, etc.) of a synchrotron beamline and their positions. They can be read/write to json files. It is used by OASYS as a common tool to define sources and optical systems that are then exported to the different add-ons.
