== YANG Tools
-:rfc6020: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020
-:lhotka-yang-json: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lhotka-netmod-yang-json-01
-=== Overview
-YANG Tools is set of libraries and tooling providing support for use
-{rfc6020}[YANG] for Java (or other JVM-based language) projects and
-applications.
-
-YANG Tools provides following features in OpenDaylight:
-
-- parsing of YANG sources and
-semantic inference of relationship across YANG models as defined in
-{rfc6020}[RFC6020]
-- representation of YANG-modeled data in Java
-** *Normalized Node* representation - DOM-like tree model, which uses conceptual
- meta-model more tailored to YANG and OpenDaylight use-cases than a standard XML
- DOM model allows for.
-** *Java Binding* - concrete data model and classes generated from YANG models,
- designed to provide compile-time safety when working with YANG-modeled data.
-- serialization / deserialization of YANG-modeled data driven by YANG
-models
-** XML - as defined in {rfc6020}[RFC6020]
-** JSON - as defined in {rfc6020}[draft-lhotka-netmod-yang-json-01]
-** Java Binding to Normalized Node and vice-versa
-- Integration of YANG model parsing into Maven build lifecycle and
-support for third-party generators processing YANG models.
-
-YANG Tools project consists of following logical subsystems:
-
-- *Commons* - Set of general purpose code, which is not specific to YANG, but
- is also useful outside YANG Tools implementation.
-- *YANG Model and Parser* - YANG semantic model and lexical and semantic parser
- of YANG models, which creates in-memory cross-referenced represenation of
- YANG models, which is used by other components to determine their behaviour
- based on the model.
-- *YANG Data* - Definition of Normalized Node APIs and Data Tree APIs, reference
- implementation of these APIs and implementation of XML and JSON codecs for
- Normalized Nodes.
-- *YANG Maven Plugin* - Maven plugin which integrates YANG parser into Maven
- build lifecycle and provides code-generation framework for components, which
- wants to generate code or other artefacts based on YANG model.
-- *YANG Java Binding* - Mapping of YANG model to generated Java APIs.
- Java Binding also references to set of compile-time and runtime components which
- implements this mapping, provides generation of classes and APIs based on
- YANG models and integrate these Java Binding objects with **YANG Data** APIs
- and components.
-
-* *Models* - Set of *IETF* and *YANG Tools* models, with generated Java Bindings
- so they could be simply consumed outside of *YANG Tools*.
