     1.4 +SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in
     1.5 +C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages.
     1.6 +SWIG is used with different types of target languages including common
     1.7 +scripting languages such as Javascript, Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby.
     1.8 +The list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages
     1.9 +such as C#, D, Go language, Java including Android, Lua, OCaml, Octave,
    1.10 +Scilab and R.
    1.11 +Also several interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations (Guile,
    1.12 +MzScheme/Racket) are supported.
    1.13 +SWIG is most commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled
    1.14 +programming environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and
    1.15 +prototyping C/C++ software.
    1.16 +SWIG is typically used to parse C/C++ interfaces and generate the
    1.17 +'glue code' required for the above target languages to call into the
    1.18 +C/C++ code.
    1.19 +SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML.
    1.20 +SWIG is free software and the code that SWIG generates is compatible
    1.21 +with both commercial and non-commercial projects.
