.. py:class:: SitesAPI

   Bases: :py:obj:`abc.ABC`


   Abstract base class for the canonical sites interface.

   It declares the single ``reduced_coords`` accessor (the exact Nx3 rational
   :class:`~httk.core.FracVector` of reduced coordinates) that every sites backend produces from
   its own native representation and every sites view builds its presentation from. This is the
   single interchange format; there is no pairwise conversion between backends.
