+short-description: Meson modules for common build operations
+...
+
+# Modules
+
+In addition to core language features, Meson also provides a module
+system aimed at providing helper methods for common build operations.
+Using modules is simple, first you import them:
+
+```meson
+mymod = import('somemodule')
+```
+
+After this you can use the returned object to use the functionality
+provided:
+
+```meson
+mymod.do_something('text argument')
+```
+
+Meson has a selection of modules to make common requirements easy to
+use. Modules can be thought of like the standard library of a
+programming language. Currently Meson provides the modules listed on
+subpages.
