Welcome to CppInterOp’s documentation!

The CppInterOp library (previously LibInterOp) provides a minimalist approach for other languages to identify C++ entities (variables, classes, etc.). This enables interoperability with C++ code, bringing the speed and efficiency of C++ to simpler, more interactive languages like Python.
