The SWC format was developed to cover most of the information common between Neurolucida, NEURON, and GENESIS formats.
It is used by resources such as NeuroMorpho.org.

Information on the SWC format can be found in the [NeuroMorpho FAQ](http://neuromorpho.org/myfaq.jsp) under the "What is SWC format" entry.

A recommended application for converting SWC into NeuroML is neuroConstruct (see below).

# CVApp (SWC) and NeuroML

[CVApp](https://github.com/pgleeson/Cvapp-NeuroMorpho.org) is a standalone Java tool that can visualize SWC files (for example from [NeuroMorpho.org](https://neuromorpho.org)) and export them into NeuroML2.

One can select "NeuroMLv2" from the "Save As" drop down box to export the loaded reconstruction to NeuroML.
