## Introduction

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.

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.
