| # 1 - Introduction |
| |
| This Internal Design Guide teaches developers about the inner logic of the **LDAP API**. It can be useful to those interested in the project, giving them some clues about how it all works and its design, and also to those who want to extend the **LDAP API** by adding _Controls_, _Extended Operations_, or schema elements like _SyntaxCheckers_, _Comparators_, etc. |
