libyang
^^^^^^^
libyang is a YANG data modelling language parser and toolkit written
(and providing API) in C.
- GitHub page: https://github.com/CESNET/libyang
- Documentaion: https://netopeer.liberouter.org/doc/libyang/master/
pyang
^^^^^
pyang is a YANG validator, transformator and code generator, written
in python. It can be used to validate YANG modules for correctness,
to transform YANG modules into other formats, and to generate code
from the modules.

- Documentaion: https://github.com/mbj4668/pyang/wiki/Documentation
ncclient
^^^^^^^^
ncclient is a Python library that facilitates client-side scripting
and application development around the NETCONF protocol.
- GitHub page: https://github.com/ncclient/ncclient
- Documentaion: https://ncclient.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
YDK
^^^
ydk-gen is a developer tool that can generate API’s that are modeled
in YANG. Currently, it generates language binding for Python, Go and
C++ with planned support for other language bindings in the future.

Netopeer2
^^^^^^^^^
Netopeer2 is a set of tools implementing network configuration tools
based on the NETCONF Protocol. This is the second generation of the
toolset, originally available as the Netopeer project. Netopeer2 is
based on the new generation of the NETCONF and YANG libraries -
libyang and libnetconf2. The Netopeer server uses sysrepo as a
NETCONF datastore implementation.
