   6
   7 YANG Tools is to develop necessary tooling and libraries to provide Java runtime
   8 and support for [YANG modeling language][RFC6020], data structures modeled by YANG and their
   9 serialization and deserialization as defined in IETF drafts and standards.
  10
  11 ## Current Features
  12
  13 * parsing of [YANG sources][RFC6020] and semantic inference of relationship across YANG models as defined in [RFC6020]
  14 * representation of YANG-modeled data in Java
  15   * **DOM-like APIs** - DOM-like tree model, which uses conceptual meta-model
  16   * **Java Bindings** - Concrete data model generated from YANG models
  17 * serialization / deserialization of YANG-modeled data driven by YANG models
  18   * XML - as defined in [RFC6020] and revised in [RFC7950]
  19   * JSON - as defined in [draft-lhotka-netmod-yang-json-01] and standardized in [RFC7951]
  20 * Integration of YANG model parsing into Maven build lifecycle and
  21   support for third-party generators processing  YANG models.
