    <title>Introduction</title>

    <para>This chapter provides an introduction to neon, giving an
overview of the range of features offered, and some general guidelines
for using the neon API.</para>
    
    <para>neon aims to provide a modern, flexible, and simple API
in the C programming language for implementing HTTP and WebDAV
support.  The WebDAV functionality is entirely separate from the basic
HTTP functionality; neon can be used simply as an HTTP client library,
ignoring the WebDAV support if desired.</para>

    <title>The &neon; C language interface</title>

    <para>The documentation for the &neon; interface is split between
    this chapter, which gives a broad introduction to the abstractions
    exposed by the library, and <xref linkend="ref"/>, which gives a
    function-by-function breakdown of the interface.</para>
