## Raptor Overview

Raptor is a free software / Open Source C library that provides a set of parsers and serializers that generate Resource Description Framework (RDF) triples by parsing syntaxes or serialize the triples into a syntax. It also includes supporting functionality for managing Unicode, UTF-8, URIs, retrieving from URIs and reading and writing XML.

## Raptor Tutorial

This part describes how to use the Raptor APIs to turn syntaxes into RDF triples and RDF triples into syntaxes.

The next part contains the Raptor Reference Manual which comprehensively describes every class and function of the API.

For the latest information, see the Raptor Home Page and the main document overview in this document tree.
