breads (Broad Repository for Exoplanet Analysis, Discovery, and Spectroscopy) provides a toolkit for data analyses in astronomical spectroscopy of exoplanets, in particular frameworks for rigorous forward modeling of observational data to achieve physical inferences with reduced systematic biases. Users choose a data class, a forward model function, and a fitting strategy. Data classes normalize the data format, simplifying reduction across different spectrographs while allowing for specific behaviors of each instrument to also be coded into their own specific class. breads provides specific functionality for modeling data from JWST NIRSpec, Keck OSIRIS, and Keck KPIC, but the underlying mathematical framework is more general.
