/**
 * @page howtoData Data Instances
 *
 * All the nodes in data tree comes are based on ::lyd_node structure. According to the content of the ::lyd_node.schema
 * it can be cast to several other structures.
 *
 * In case the ::lyd_node.schema pointer is NULL, the node is actually __opaq__ and can be safely cast to ::lyd_node_opaq.
 * The opaq node represent an unknown node which wasn't mapped to any [(compiled) schema](@ref howtoSchema) node in the
 * context. Such a node can appear in several places in the data tree.
 * - As a part of the tree structure, but only in the case the ::LYD_PARSE_OPAQ option was used when input data were
 *   [parsed](@ref howtoDataParsers), because unknown data instances are ignored by default. The same way, the opaq nodes can
 *   appear as a node's attributes.
 * - As a representation of YANG anydata/anyxml content.
 * - As envelopes of standard data tree instances (RPCs, actions or Notifications).
 *
 * In case the data node has its definition in a [compiled schema tree](@ref howtoSchema), the structure of the data node is
 * actually one of the followings according to the schema node's nodetype (::lysc_node.nodetype).
 * - ::lyd_node_inner - represents data nodes corresponding to schema nodes matching ::LYD_NODE_INNER nodetypes. They provide
 * structure of the tree by having children nodes.
 * - ::lyd_node_term - represents data nodes corresponding to schema nodes matching ::LYD_NODE_TERM nodetypes. The terminal
 * nodes provide values of the particular configuration/status information. The values are represented as ::lyd_value
 * structure with string representation of the value (retrieved by ::lyd_get_value() and ::lyd_get_meta_value()) and
 * the type specific data stored in the structure's union according to the real type of the value (::lyd_value.realtype).
 * The string representation provides canonical representation of the value in case the type has the canonical
 * representation specified. Otherwise, it is the original value or, in case the value can contain prefixes, the JSON
 * format is used to make the value unambiguous.
 * - ::lyd_node_any - represents data nodes corresponding to schema nodes matching ::LYD_NODE_ANY nodetypes.
 *
 * Despite all the aforementioned structures and their members are available as part of the libyang API and callers can use
 * it to navigate through the data tree structure or to obtain various information, we recommend to use the following macros
 * and functions.
 * - ::lyd_child() (or ::lyd_child_no_keys()) and ::lyd_parent() to get the node's child/parent node.
 * - ::LYD_CTX to get libyang context from a data node.
 * - ::lyd_get_value()/::lyd_get_meta_value() to get canonical string value from a terminal node/metadata instance.
 * - ::LYD_TREE_DFS_BEGIN and ::LYD_TREE_DFS_END to traverse the data tree (depth-first).
 * - ::LY_LIST_FOR and ::LY_ARRAY_FOR as described on @ref howtoStructures page.
 *
 * Instead of going through the data tree on your own, a specific data node can be also located using a wide set of
 * \b lyd_find_*() functions.
 *
 * More information about specific operations with data instances can be found on the following pages:
 * - @subpage howtoDataParsers
 * - @subpage howtoDataValidation
 * - @subpage howtoDataWD
 * - @subpage howtoDataManipulation
 * - @subpage howtoDataPrinters
 * - @subpage howtoDataLYB
 *
 * \note API for this group of functions is described in the [Data Instances module](@ref datatree).

 *
 * @section howtoDataMetadata Metadata Support
 *
 * YANG Metadata annotations are defined in [RFC 7952](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7952) as YANG extension (and libyang
 * [implements them as internal extension plugin](@ref howtoPluginsExtensions)). In practice, it allows to have XML
 * attributes (there is also a special encoding for JSON) in YANG modeled data. libyang does not allow to have any XML
 * attribute without the appropriate annotation definition describing the data as it is done e.g. for leafs. When an
 * attribute without a matching annotation definition is found in the input data, it is:
 * - silently dropped (with warning) or
 * - an error is reported in case the ::LYD_PARSE_STRICT parser option is provided to the
 *   [parser function](@ref howtoDataParsers) or
 * - stored into a generic ::lyd_attr structure without a connection with any YANG module in case the ::LYD_PARSE_OPAQ
 *   parser options is provided to the [parser function](@ref howtoDataParsers).
 *
 * There are some XML attributes, described by [YANG](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7950) and
 * [NETCONF](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241) specifications, which are not defined as annotations, but libyang
 * implements them this way. In case of attributes in the YANG namespace (`insert`, `value` and `key` attributes
 * for the NETCONF edit-config operation), they are defined in special libyang's internal module `yang`, which is
 * available in each context and the content of this schema can be printed via
 * [schema printers](@ref howtoSchemaPrinters).
 *
 * In case of the attributes described in [NETCONF specification](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6241), the libyang's
 * annotations structures are hidden and cannot be printed despite, internally, they are part of the `ietf-netconf`'s
 * schema structure. Therefore, these attributes are available only when the `ietf-netconf` schema is loaded in the
 * context. The definitions of these annotations are as follows:
 *
 *     md:annotation operation {
 *       type enumeration {
 *         enum merge;
 *         enum replace;
 *         enum create;
 *         enum delete;
 *         enum remove;
 *       }
 *     }
 *
 *     md:annotation type {
 *       type enumeration {
 *         enum subtree;
 *         enum xpath {
 *           if-feature "nc:xpath";
 *         }
 *       }
 *     }
 *
 *     md:annotation select {
 *       type string;
 *     }
 *
 * Note, that, following the specification,
 * - the `type` and `select` XML attributes are supposed to be unqualified (without namespace) and that
 * - the `select`'s content is XPath and it is internally transformed by libyang into the format where the
 *   XML namespace prefixes are replaced by the YANG module names.
 *
 *
 * @section howtoDataYangdata yang-data Support
 *
 * [RFC 8040](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8040) defines ietf-restconf module, which includes yang-data extension. Despite
 * the definition in the RESTCONF YANG module, the yang-data concept is quite generic and used even in modules without a
 * connection to RESTCONF protocol. The extension allows to define a separated YANG trees usable separately from any
 * datastore.
 *
 * libyang implements support for yang-data internally as an [extension plugin](@ref howtoPluginsExtensions). To ease the
 * use of yang-data with libyang, there are several generic functions, which are usable for yang-data:
 *
 * - ::lyd_parse_ext_data()
 * - ::lyd_parse_ext_op()
 *
 * - ::lys_getnext_ext()
 *
 * - ::lyd_new_ext_inner()
 * - ::lyd_new_ext_list()
 * - ::lyd_new_ext_term()
 * - ::lyd_new_ext_any()
 * - ::lyd_new_ext_path()
 *
 * @section howtoDataMountpoint mount-point Support
 *
 * [RFC 8528](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8528) defines mount-point extension in ietf-yang-schema-mount YANG module.
 * This extension is supported out-of-the-box but to be able to parse data in a mount point, additional run-time data
 * need to be provided by a callback:
 *
 * - ::ly_ctx_set_ext_data_clb()
 */

/**
 * @page howtoDataManipulation Manipulating Data
 *
 * There are many functions to create or modify an existing data tree. You can add new nodes, reconnect nodes from
 * one tree to another (or e.g. from one list instance to another) or remove nodes. The functions doesn't allow you
 * to put a node to a wrong place (by checking the YANG module structure), but not all validation checks can be made directly
 * (or you have to make a valid change by multiple tree modifications) when the tree is being changed. Therefore,
 * the [validation process](@ref howtoDataValidation) is expected to be invoked after changing the data tree to make sure
 * that the changed data tree is valid.
 *
 * When inserting a node into data tree (no matter if the node already exists, via ::lyd_insert_child() and
 * ::lyd_insert_sibling(), or a new node is being created), the node is automatically inserted to the place respecting the
 * nodes order from the YANG schema. So the node is not inserted to the end or beginning of the siblings list, but after the
 * existing instance of the closest preceding sibling node from the schema. In case the node is opaq (it is not connected
 * with any schema node), it is placed to the end of the sibling node in the order they are inserted in. The only situation
 * when it is possible to influence the order of the nodes is the order of user-ordered list/leaf-list instances. In such
 * a case the ::lyd_insert_after() or ::lyd_insert_before() can be used.
 *
 * Creating data is generally possible in two ways, they can be combined. You can add nodes one-by-one based on
 * the node name and/or its parent (::lyd_new_inner(), ::lyd_new_term(), ::lyd_new_any(), ::lyd_new_list(), ::lyd_new_list2()
 * and ::lyd_new_opaq()) or address the nodes using a [simple XPath addressing](@ref howtoXPath) (::lyd_new_path() and
 * ::lyd_new_path2()). The latter enables to create a whole path of nodes, requires less information
 * about the modified data, and is generally simpler to use. Actually the third way is duplicating the existing data using
 * ::lyd_dup_single(), ::lyd_dup_siblings() and ::lyd_dup_meta_single().
 *
 * Note, that in case the node is defined in an extension instance, the functions mentioned above do not work until you
 * provide parent where the new node is supposed to be inserted. The reason is that all the functions searches for the
 * top-level nodes directly inside modules. To create a top-level node defined in an extension instance, use
 * ::lyd_new_ext_inner(), ::lyd_new_ext_term(), ::lyd_new_ext_any(), ::lyd_new_ext_list() and ::lyd_new_ext_path()
 * functions.
 *
 * The [metadata](@ref howtoDataMetadata) (and attributes in opaq nodes) can be created with ::lyd_new_meta()
 * and ::lyd_new_attr().
 *
 * Changing value of a terminal node (leaf, leaf-list) is possible with ::lyd_change_term(). Similarly, the metadata value
 * can be changed with ::lyd_change_meta(). Before changing the value, it might be useful to compare the node's value
 * with a string value (::lyd_value_compare()) or verify that the new string value is correct for the specific data node
 * (::lyd_value_validate()).
 *
 * Working with two existing subtrees can also be performed two ways. Usually, you would use lyd_insert*() functions.
 * They are generally meant for simple inserts of a node into a data tree. For more complicated inserts and when
 * merging 2 trees use ::lyd_merge_tree() or ::lyd_merge_siblings(). It offers additional options and is basically a more
 * powerful insert.
 *
 * Besides merging, libyang is also capable to provide information about differences between two data trees. For this purpose,
 * ::lyd_diff_tree() and ::lyd_diff_siblings() generates annotated data trees which can be, in addition, used to change one
 * data tree to another one using ::lyd_diff_apply_all(), ::lyd_diff_apply_module() and ::lyd_diff_reverse_all(). Multiple
 * diff data trees can be also put together for further work using ::lyd_diff_merge_all(), ::lyd_diff_merge_module() and
 * ::lyd_diff_merge_tree() functions. To just check equivalence of the data nodes, ::lyd_compare_single(),
 * ::lyd_compare_siblings() and ::lyd_compare_meta() can be used.
 *
 * To remove a node or subtree from a data tree, use ::lyd_unlink_tree() and then free the unwanted data using
 * ::lyd_free_all() (or other \b lyd_free_*() functions).
 *
 * Also remember, that when you are creating/inserting a node, all the objects in that operation must belong to the
 * same context.
 *
 * Modifying the single data tree in multiple threads is not safe.

/**
 * @page howtoDataWD Default Values
 *
 * libyang provides support for work with default values as defined in [RFC 6243](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6243).
 * However, libyang context do not contains the *ietf-netconf-with-defaults* module on its own and caller is supposed to
 * add this YANG module to enable full support of the *with-defaults* features described below. Without presence of the
 * mentioned module in the context, the default nodes are still present and handled in the data trees, but the metadata
 * providing the information about the default values cannot be used. It means that when parsing data, the default nodes
 * marked with the metadata as implicit default nodes are handled as explicit data and when printing data tree, the expected
 * nodes are printed without the ietf-netconf-with-defaults metadata.
 *
 * The RFC document defines 4 modes for handling default nodes in a data tree, libyang adds the fifth mode and use them
 * via @ref dataprinterflags when printing data trees.
 * - \b explicit - Only the explicitly set configuration data. But in the case of status data, missing default
 *                 data are added into the tree. In libyang, this mode is represented by ::LYD_PRINT_WD_EXPLICIT option.
 *                 This is the default with-defaults mode of the printer. The data nodes do not contain any additional
 *                 metadata information.
 * - \b trim - Data nodes containing the default value are removed. This mode is applied with ::LYD_PRINT_WD_TRIM option.
 * - \b report-all - This mode provides all the default data nodes despite they were explicitly present in source data or
 *                 they were added by libyang's [validation process](@ref howtoDataValidation). This mode is activated by
 *                 ::LYD_PRINT_WD_ALL option.
 * - \b report-all-tagged - In this case, all the data nodes (implicit as well the explicit) containing the default value
 *                 are printed and tagged (see the note below). Printers accept ::LYD_PRINT_WD_ALL_TAG option for this mode.
 * - \b report-implicit-tagged - The last mode is similar to the previous one, except only the implicitly added nodes
 *                 are tagged. This is the libyang's extension and it is activated by ::LYD_PRINT_WD_IMPL_TAG option.
 *
 * Internally, libyang adds the default nodes into the data tree as part of the [validation process](@ref howtoDataValidation).
 * When [parsing data](@ref howtoDataParsers) from an input source, adding default nodes can be avoided only by avoiding
 * the whole [validation process](@ref howtoDataValidation). In case the ietf-netconf-with-defaults module is present in the
 * context, the [parser process](@ref howtoDataParsers) also supports to recognize the implicit default nodes marked with the
 * appropriate metadata.
 *
 * Note, that in a modified data tree (via e.g. \b lyd_insert_*() or \b lyd_free_*() functions), some of the default nodes
 * can be missing or they can be present by mistake. Such a data tree is again corrected during the next run of the
 * [validation process](@ref howtoDataValidation) or manualy using \b lyd_new_implicit_*() functions.
 *
 * The implicit (default) nodes, created by libyang, are marked with the ::LYD_DEFAULT flag in ::lyd_node.flags member
 * Note, that besides leafs and leaf-lists, the flag can appear also in containers, where it means that the container
 * holds only a default node(s) or it is implicitly added empty container (according to YANG 1.1 spec, all such containers are part of
 * the accessible data tree). When printing data trees, the presence of empty containers (despite they were added
 * explicitly or implicitly as part of accessible data tree) depends on ::LYD_PRINT_KEEPEMPTYCONT option.
 *
 * To get know if the particular leaf or leaf-list node contains default value (despite implicit or explicit), you can
 * use ::lyd_is_default() function.
