serialize

serialize()

Builds the name-level serialized form (isomer-sensitive). Species names are sorted alphabetically and joined with ".". Reactants and products are separated by "__". (The "." joiner — not "_" — is used because special pseudo-species names start with _.)

Returns

str

Name-level canonical key, e.g. "H.H2O+__H+.H2O" for H + H2O+ -> H2O + H+.
