""":mod:`robot.api` package exposes the public APIs of Robot Framework.

Unless stated otherwise, the APIs exposed in this package are considered stable,
and thus safe to use when building external tools on top of Robot Framework.

Currently exposed APIs are:

* :mod:`.logger` module for test libraries' logging purposes.

* :mod:`.deco` module with decorators test libraries can utilize.

* :class:`~robot.parsing.model.TestCaseFile`,
  :class:`~robot.parsing.model.TestDataDirectory`, and
  :class:`~robot.parsing.model.ResourceFile` classes for parsing test
  data files and directories.
  In addition, a convenience factory method
  :func:`~robot.parsing.model.TestData` creates either
  :class:`~robot.parsing.model.TestCaseFile` or
  :class:`~robot.parsing.model.TestDataDirectory` objects based on the input.

* :class:`~robot.running.model.TestSuite` class for creating executable
  test suites programmatically and
  :class:`~robot.running.builder.TestSuiteBuilder` class
  for creating such suites based on existing test data on the file system.

* :class:`~robot.model.visitor.SuiteVisitor` abstract class for processing testdata
  before execution. This can be used as a base for implementing a pre-run
  modifier that is taken into use with ``--prerunmodifier`` commandline option.

* :func:`~robot.result.resultbuilder.ExecutionResult` factory method
  for reading execution results from XML output files and
  :class:`~robot.result.visitor.ResultVisitor` abstract class to ease
  further processing the results. 
  :class:`~robot.result.visitor.ResultVisitor` can also be used as a base
  for pre-Rebot modifier that is taken into use with ``--prerebotmodifier``
  commandline option.

* :class:`~robot.reporting.resultwriter.ResultWriter` class for writing
  reports, logs, XML outputs, and XUnit files. Can write results based on
  XML outputs on the file system, as well as based on the result objects
  returned by the :func:`~robot.result.resultbuilder.ExecutionResult` or
  an executed :class:`~robot.running.model.TestSuite`.


All of the above names can be imported like::

    from robot.api import ApiName

See documentations of the individual APIs for more details.

.. tip:: APIs related to the command line entry points are exposed directly
        via the :mod:`robot` root package.
