CDES .NET SDK
Type-safe C# library for cannabis data — strains, terpenes, cannabinoids, COA validation, and profile analysis. Built for .NET 8+.
dotnet add package Cdes What's Included
Everything you need to work with cannabis data in .NET — models, reference data, analysis, and serialization.
Models
Strongly-typed records for Batch, Product, Strain, Cannabinoid, Terpene, COA, Weight, and Price.
Batch, Product, Strain, COA Terpene Library
30 terpene definitions with CAS numbers, boiling points, categories, and aromas.
TerpeneLibrary, TerpeneUtilities Cannabinoid Registry
9 cannabinoid definitions with chemical formulas, molecular weights, and FDA scheduling.
CannabinoidLibrary, CannabinoidUtilities Profile Analysis
Compare profiles, find similar strains, score completeness, and classify strains by THC/CBD ratio.
CdesAnalyzer JSON Serialization
System.Text.Json options with camelCase naming and enum string conversion out of the box.
CdesJsonOptions 148 Unit Tests
Comprehensive xUnit test suite covering all models, reference data, utilities, and analysis.
xUnit + coverlet Quick Examples
Reference Data Lookup
// Look up terpene by name
using Cdes.Reference;
var myrcene = TerpeneLibrary.GetByName("myrcene");
Console.WriteLine($"{myrcene!.DisplayName}: {myrcene.Category}");
// Output: Myrcene: Monoterpene
// Search terpenes
var results = TerpeneUtilities.SearchByName("lim");
// Returns: [Limonene, D-Limonene, ...]
// Look up cannabinoid + normalize names
var thc = CannabinoidLibrary.GetByName("THC");
var normalized = CannabinoidUtilities.NormalizeName("Δ9-THC");
// normalized == "Δ9THC"Profile Comparison & Analysis
using Cdes.Analysis;
using Cdes.Models;
var analyzer = new CdesAnalyzer();
// Create cannabinoid profiles
var profile1 = new CannabinoidProfile
{
BatchId = "BATCH-001",
BatchName = "Blue Dream #1",
Cannabinoids = new Dictionary<string, double>
{
["THC"] = 22.5,
["CBD"] = 0.8,
["CBG"] = 1.2
},
TotalCannabinoids = 24.5
};
// Classify strain by THC/CBD ratio
var classification = analyzer.ClassifyStrain(profile1);
// classification.Type == "THC-Dominant"
// classification.ThcContent == "High"
// Score data completeness
var completeness = analyzer.ScoreCompleteness(profile1);
// completeness.Score, completeness.Coverage, completeness.Message
// Compare two profiles
var result = analyzer.CompareProfiles(profile1, profile2);
// result.Similarity (0-100), result.DifferencesJSON Serialization
using System.Text.Json;
using Cdes.Models;
using Cdes.Serialization;
var product = new Product
{
Id = "SKU-001",
Name = "Blue Dream Flower",
Category = ProductCategory.Flower,
Strain = new Strain
{
Name = "Blue Dream",
Classification = StrainClassification.Hybrid
}
};
// Serialize with CDES conventions (camelCase)
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(product, CdesJsonOptions.Default);
// {"id":"SKU-001","name":"Blue Dream Flower","category":"Flower",...}Python vs .NET SDK
Same CDES data models and reference data, native to your technology stack.
