=====================================
Welcome to the Binary Ninja API documentation. The below methods are available
from the root of the `binaryninja` package, but most of the API is organized
into the modules shown in the left side-bar.
These pages are intended as an API Reference. For a deeper explanation of how
different parts of Binary Ninja work, explanations of concepts, or if you're
new to Binary Ninja, you'll want to check out our `User Guide `_.
If you're new to our API, we also have a `Developer Guide `_
which covers many of the concepts developers should know. There's also a
`Cookbook `_ which contains many
examples to get you started using our API.
You can also scroll to the end to view a class list of all available classes.
The search bar on the side works both online and offline.
