 <h2>Welcome to SWIG</h2>

 [ <a href="http://swig-jp.dyndns.org">Japanese</a> ]

 <p>
 SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in
 C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming
 languages.  SWIG is used with different types of languages including common scripting languages such as
 Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl, Ruby and PHP. The list of
 <a href="compat.html#SupportedLanguages">supported languages</a> also includes
 non-scripting languages such as C#, Common Lisp (CLISP, Allegro CL, UFFI), Java, Modula-3 and OCAML. Also several
 interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations (Guile, MzScheme, Chicken)
 are supported. SWIG is most
 commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming
 environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++
 software.  SWIG can also export its parse tree in the form of XML and
 Lisp s-expressions.  SWIG may be freely used, distributed, and modified for commercial
 and non-commercial use.
