SaltProc Input File
===================

The main SaltProc input file is a JSON file validated against a JSON schema.
In this section, we will describe the structure of this schema. The top level
datatype of the schema is a JSON ``object``.

Required properties are as follows: ``proc_input_file``, ``dot_input_file``, ``output_path``, ``depcode``, ``simulation``, ``reactor``.
