   You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least
   contain the root `toctree` directive.

Welcome to Open Legal Data Platform's documentation!
====================================================

OLDP is a web application, written in Python 3.12 and based on the Django web framework.
It is used for processing legal text and for providing a REST API and an Elasticsearch-based
search engine. OLDP is developed by the non-profit initiative Open Legal Data with the goal
of building an Open Data platform for legal documents (mainly court decisions and laws).
The platform makes legal information freely accessible for the general public and especially
third-party apps.

New here? Start with :doc:`getting-started`, then read the :doc:`architecture` overview to see
how the pieces fit together. OLDP is the core of a small ecosystem of projects — see
:doc:`ecosystem` for the German theme, the data ingestor, and the dump-preprocessing toolkit.
