+# Low level CAN binding for AGL
+
+## Abstract
+
+This project proposes a Low Level CAN Binding for AGL, with the following features:
+
+* CAN messages and diagnostic messages (OBD-II) are currently supported
+* Description of CAN messages is done using JSON definition following OpenXC specifications (project OpenXC/vi-firmware)
+* Encoding/Decoding of CAN messages reuses OpenXC libraries
+* Proposes an API to other AGL applications and services to read/write on CAN bus(es).
+* Uses a publish/subscribe model with filtering for sending messages to clients for efficiency
