## Chapter 1. Introduction

Synopsis is a source code introspection tool. It provides parsers for a variety of programming languages (C, C++, Python, IDL), and generates internal representations of varying granularity. The only stable representation, which is currently used among others to generate documentation, is an Abstract Semantic Graph.

This tutorial is focussed on the ASG and the concepts around it. Other representations are presently being worked on, notably in relation to the C++ parser. To learn more about those (Parse Tree, Symbol Table, etc.) see the Developer's Guide.
