Summary
If you're programmatically reading or writing KiCad schematics and PCBs, this is your reference sheet. It covers the S-expression format for both .kicad_sch and .kicad_pcb files in KiCad 8.x, with concrete examples of symbols, wires, footprints, traces, vias, and zones. The documentation is practical: it shows you exactly how to structure a symbol instance with properties, how net numbers work across pads and segments, and what a hierarchical sheet block looks like. This is the kind of thing you want when you're building automation for board generation or parsing existing designs, not clicking around in the GUI.
