+===WebIOPi is a fully integrated Internet of Things framework for the Raspberry Pi.===
+   Control, debug, and use your Pi's GPIO locally or remotely, from a browser or any app.
+   WebIOPi is the perfect Swiss-knife to make connected things with the Raspberry Pi.
+   Developed and provided by Eric PTAK, french R&D engineer in networks, software, and Internet of Things.
+
+===Features===
+   REST API over HTTP and CoAP (draft-14) with multicast support
+   Server written in Python with zero dependency
+   Supports GPIO, Serial, I2C, SPI, 1-Wire with zero dependency
+   Supports more than [DEVICES 30 devices] including DAC, ADC, sensors...
+   Full Python library for the Server, GPIO, Serial, I2C, SPI and devices drivers
+   Compatible with both Python 2 and 3
+   Extensible and highly customizable
+   Login/Password protection
+   Mobile devices compatible
+   Includes debug web apps
+     GPIO Header
+     GPIO List
+     Serial Monitor
+     Devices Monitor
+   Javascript client library built on top of jQuery
+   Python client library with HTTP and CoAP support
+
+===What for===
+   Use webiopi.GPIO library to control GPIO in your Python scripts
+   Use devices drivers to interact with DAC, ADC, sensors and more in your Python scripts
+   Use Serial, I2C and SPI webiopi classes in your Python scripts
+   Use the GPIO Header web-app to play with GPIO and debug circuits
+   Use the Serial Monitor web-app to debug Serial devices
+   Use the Devices Monitor web-app to debug devices like DAC, ADC, sensors and more
+   Create a web-app with the Javascript library to remote controls things connected on GPIO
+   Add webiopi in your existing Python script to simply add all WebIOPi features
+   Extends webiopi with your own macro
+   Extends webiopi with scripts loading facilities in a Arduino fashion way (setup, loop, destroy)
+   Use the Python Client to make Pi-2-Pi communication through the REST API
+   Use the Python Multicast Client to control multiple Pis with a single REST call
+   Use the Java Client to use the REST API from a Java application, including Android
+   Use the REST API from any technology/language
