# Data plane API
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This tree hosts the configuration and APIs that drive [Envoy](https://www.envoyproxy.io/). The
|
|
|
|
|
APIs are also in some cases used by other proxy solutions that aim to interoperate with management
|
|
|
|
|
systems and configuration generators that are built against this standard. Thus, we consider these a
|
|
|
|
|
set of *universal data plane* APIs. See [this](https://medium.com/@mattklein123/the-universal-data-plane-api-d15cec7a)
|
|
|
|
|
blog post for more information on the universal data plane concept.

# Repository structure
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The API tree can be found at two locations:
|
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/tree/master/api - canonical read/write home for the APIs.
|
|
|
|
|
* https://github.com/envoyproxy/data-plane-api - read-only mirror of
|
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/tree/master/api, providing the ability to consume the data
|
|
|
|
|
plane APIs without the Envoy implementation.
