Since the file format is relatively stable, in order to make it more convenient for people to contribute, we need document all file format, include schematic、pcb and librarys.

Yes, that would be nice. In the meantime, check out [some examples](https://github.com/LibrePCB-Libraries/LibrePCB_Base.lplib/blob/master/cmp/2b24b18d-bd95-4fb4-8fe6-bce1d020ead4/component.lp), the s-expression based file format is very readable.
