import yaz-2.0
YAZ is a C/C++ library for information retrieval applications using
the Z39.50/SRW protocols for information retrieval.
Properties of YAZ:
* Complete Z39.50 version 3 support. Amendments and Z39.50-2002
revision is supported.
* Supports SRW version 1.0 (over HTTP and HTTPS).
* Includes BER encoders/decoders for the ISO ILL protocol.
* Supports the following transports: BER over TCP/IP (RFC1729), BER
over unix local socket, and HTTP 1.1.
* Secure Socket Layer support using OpenSSL. If enabled, YAZ uses
HTTPS transport (for SOAP) or "Secure BER" (for Z39.50).
* Offers ZOOM C API implementing both Z39.50 and SRW.
* The YAZ library offers a set of useful utilities related to the
protocols, such as MARC (ISO2709) parser, CCL (ISO8777) parser,
CQL parser, memory management routines, character set conversion.
* Portable code. YAZ compiles out-of-the box on most Unixes and on
Windows using Microsoft Visual C++.
* Fast operation. The C based BER encoders/decoders as well as the
server component of YAZ is very fast.
* Liberal license that allows for commercial use of YAZ.
