 <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 primarily used with common scripting languages
 such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, and Ruby, however the list of
 <a href="compat.html#SupportedLanguages">supported languages</a> also includes
 non-scripting languages such as Java, OCAML and C#. 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.
