Augeas uses programs called lenses (in reference to the Harmony Project[2]) to map a filesystem to an XML tree which can then be parsed using an XPath syntax, using a bidirectional transformation. Writing such lenses extends the amount of files Augeas can parse.

Bindings

Augeas has bindings for Python,[3] Ruby,[4] OCaml,[5] Perl,[6] Haskell,[7] Java,[8] PHP,[9] and Tcl.[10]
