# What is marti
The foundation pillar for the **marti** framework is the [marti document](../marti.md)
that defines the reconciliation and other metadata of the document / file being transferred.
A definition, while fundamental, benefits from having tools that can create, read and
interpret the definition. The **marti** framework is about providing those tools
and a ecosystem that can be added to.
The majority of the effort in creating **marti** is in the tools. There are tools
for various programming languages and situations. As many programming languages
generate portable programs that can execute on multiple operating systems, the
likelihood is that a tools exists for you.
The source for tools is provided in this repository and some have precompiled
images.
See the [source](../source/) directory for more details.
