A.STAR is a .Net library (programmed in C#) for STAR/CIF manipulation.
A.STAR features a object model for manipulating STAR/CIF data and object-oriented APIs for reading and writing STAR/CIF files.

C#:
...
using AStar.Cif;
...
CifPack pack = new CifPack("fa3203.cif");
Console.WriteLine("Formula: {0}", pack["I"]["_chemical_formula_sum"].Value);
foreach(CifValue val in pack["I"]["_atom_site_U_iso_or_equiv"].List) {
Console.WriteLine("Uiso/Ueq: {0} with s.u. ({1})",
val.ToNumber(),
val.ToMeasurand().Su);
}
...
VB.Net:
...
Imports AStar.Cif
...
Dim pack As New CifPack("fa3203.cif")
Console.WriteLine("Formula: {0}", pack("I")("_chemical_formula_sum").Value)
For Each val As CifValue In pack("I")("_atom_site_U_iso_or_equiv").List
Console.WriteLine("Uiso/Ueq: {0} with s.u. ({1})", val.ToNumber(), val.ToMeasurand().Su)

Python (IronPython):
...
import clr
clr.AddReference('AStar.dll')
from AStar.Cif import *
...
pack = CifPack('fa3203.cif')
print 'Formula: %s' % pack['I']['_chemical_formula_sum'].Value
for val in pack['I']['_atom_site_U_iso_or_equiv'].List:
print 'Uiso/Ueq: %f with s.u. (%f)' % (val.ToNumber(), val.ToMeasurand().Su)
...
Ruby (IronRuby):
...
require 'AStar.dll'
include AStar::Cif
...
pack = CifPack.new('fa3203.cif')
printf("Formula: %s\n", pack['I']['_chemical_formula_sum'].Value)
for val in pack['I']['_atom_site_U_iso_or_equiv'].List do
printf("Uiso/Ueq: %f with s.u. (%f)\n", val.ToNumber(), val.ToMeasurand().Su)

F#:
...
open AStar.Cif
...
let pack = CifPack("fa3203.cif")
printfn "Formula: %s" (pack.["I"].["_chemical_formula_sum"].Value.ToString())
for v in pack.["I"].["_atom_site_U_iso_or_equiv"].List do
printfn "Uiso/Ueq: %f with s.u. (%f)" (v.ToNumber()) (v.ToMeasurand().Su)

pack = CifPack('fa3203.cif')
Console.WriteLine('Formula: {0}', pack['I']['_chemical_formula_sum'].Value)
for val as CifValue in pack['I']['_atom_site_U_iso_or_equiv'].List:
