/**
 * @mainpage About
 *
 * libyang is a library implementing processing of the YANG schemas and data modeled by the YANG language. The
 * library is implemented in C for GNU/Linux and provides C API.
 *
 * @section about-features Main Features
 *
 * - [Parsing (and validating) schemas](@ref howtoSchema) in YANG format.
 * - [Parsing (and validating) schemas](@ref howtoSchema) in YIN format.
 * - [Parsing, validating and printing instance data](@ref howtoData) in XML format.
 * - [Parsing, validating and printing instance data](@ref howtoData) in JSON format
 *   ([RFC 7951](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951)).
 * - [Manipulation with the instance data](@ref howtoDataManipulation).
 * - Support for [default values in the instance data](@ref howtoDataWD) ([RFC 6243](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6243)).
 * - Support for [YANG extensions and user types](@ref howtoPlugins).
 * - Support for [YANG Metadata](@ref howtoPluginsExtensionsMetadata) ([RFC 7952](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6243)).
 *
 * The current implementation covers YANG 1.0 ([RFC 6020](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020)) as well as
 * YANG 1.1 ([RFC 7950](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7950)).

/**
 * @page howto libyang API Overview
 *
 * @section howtoGeneral General notes
 *
 * libyang is primarily intended for handling data modeled by YANG modeling language, so the library is supposed to be optimized
 * for this purpose. However, as a side effect, the library has to be able precisely process YANG modules. Thus, it is usable by
 * YANG module authors to validate their modules and schemas in the development process.

/**
 * @page howtoStructures Data Structures
 *
 * @section sizedarrays Sized Arrays
 *
 * The structure starts with 32bit number storing size of the array - the number of the items inside. The size is part of the
 * array to have it allocated together with the array itself only when it is needed. However, the pointers to the array always
 * points after the 32b number, so items can be accessed directly as for standard C arrays. Because of a known size (available
 * via ::LY_ARRAY_COUNT macro), it is not terminated by any special byte (sequence), so there is also no limitation for specific
 * content of the stored records (e.g. that first byte must not be NULL).
 *
 * The sized arrays must be carefully freed (which should be done anyway only internally), since pointers to the sized arrays used
 * in libyang structures, does not point to the beginning of the allocated space.
 *
 * - ::LY_ARRAY_COUNT
 * - ::LY_ARRAY_FOR
 *
 * @section struct_lists Lists
 *
 * The lists are structures connected via a `next` and `prev` pointers. Iterating over the siblings can be simply done by
 * ::LY_LIST_FOR macro. Examples of such structures are ::lyd_node or ::lysc_node.
 *
 * The `prev` pointer is always filled. In case there is just a single item in the list, the `prev` pointer points to the
 * item itself. Otherwise, the `prev` pointer of the first item points to the last item of the list. In contrast, the
 * `next` pointer of the last item in the list is always NULL.

/**
 * @page howtoPlugins Plugins
 *
 * libyang supports several types of plugins to better support generic features of YANG that need some specific code for
 * their specific instances in YANG schemas. This is the case of YANG types, which are derived from YANG built-in types
 * (which are implemented by libyang), but the description of the derived type can specify some additional requirements or
 * restriction that cannot be implemented generically and some special code is needed. The second case for libyang plugins
 * are YANG extensions. For YANG extensions, most of the specification stays in their description (e.g. allowed substatements
 * or place of the extension instanciation) and libyang is not able to process such a text in a generic way. In both cases,
 * libyang provides API to provide functionality implementing the specifics of each type or extension.
