Augeas is a free software configuration-management library, written in the C programming language. It is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

Augeas uses programs called lenses (in reference to the Harmony Project[3]) to map a filesystem to an XML tree which can then be parsed using an XPath syntax, using a bidirectional transformation. Writing such lenses extends the amount of files Augeas can parse.

Bindings

Augeas has bindings for Python,[4] Ruby,[5] OCaml,[6] Perl,[7] Haskell,[8] Java,[9] PHP,[10] and Tcl.[11]
