Unicon - Universal Connection Library
=====================================

Unicon is a package aiming to provide a unified connection experience to network
devices through typical command-line management interface. By wrapping the 
underlying session (eg, telnet, ssh), Unicon provides:

- direct and proxied connections through any common CLI interface (telnet, ssh, serial etc)
- power of expect-like programming without having to deal with low-level logic
- multi-vendor support through an agnostic API interface
- seamless handling of CLI modes (eg, enable, configure, admin-configure mode)
- rejected commands, command error detections
- value-add statful services (specific to the platform)

and is extensible: platform supports and services are implemented via 
open-source plugins.

Unicon is the standard, go-to CLI connection implementation for `Cisco pyATS`_
framework.
