+/**
+ * @page howtoDataParsers Parsing Data
+ *
+ * Data parser allows to read instances from a specific format. libyang supports the following data formats:
+ *
+ * - XML
+ *
+ * Original data format used in NETCONF protocol. XML mapping is part of the YANG specification
+ * ([RFC 6020](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020)).
+ *
+ * - JSON
+ *
+ * The alternative data format available in RESTCONF protocol. Specification of JSON encoding of data modeled by YANG
+ * can be found in [RFC 7951](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951). The specification does not cover RPCs, actions and
+ * Notifications, so the representation of these data trees is proprietary and corresponds to the representation of these
+ * trees in XML.
+ *
+ * While the parsers themselves process the input data only syntactically, all the parser functions actually incorporate
+ * the [common validator](@ref howtoDataValidation) checking the input data semantically. Therefore, the parser functions
+ * accepts two groups of options - @ref dataparseroptions and @ref datavalidationoptions.
+ *
+ * In contrast to the schema parser, data parser also accepts empty input data if such an empty data tree is valid
+ * according to the schemas in the libyang context (i.e. there are no top level mandatory nodes).
+ *
+ * There are individual functions to process different types of the data instances trees:
+ * - ::lyd_parse_data() is intended for standard configuration data trees. According to the given
+ * [parser options](@ref dataparseroptions), the caller can further specify which kind of data tree is expected:
+ * - *complete :running datastore*: this is the default case, possibly with the use of (some of) the
+ * ::LYD_PARSE_STRICT, ::LYD_PARSE_OPAQ or ::LYD_VALIDATE_PRESENT options.
+ * - *complete configuration-only datastore* (such as :startup): in this case it is necessary to except all state data
+ * using ::LYD_PARSE_NO_STATE option.
+ * - *incomplete datastore*: there are situation when the data tree is incomplete or invalid by specification. For
+ * example the *:operational* datastore is not necessarily valid and results of the NETCONF's \<get\> or \<get-config\>
+ * oprations used with filters will be incomplete (and thus invalid). This can be allowed using ::LYD_PARSE_ONLY,
+ * the ::LYD_PARSE_NO_STATE should be used for the data returned by \<get-config\> operation.
+ * - ::lyd_parse_ext_data() is used for parsing configuration data trees defined inside extension instances, such as
+ * instances of yang-data extension specified in [RFC 8040](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8040).
+ * - ::lyd_parse_op() is used for parsing RPCs/actions, replies, and notifications. Even NETCONF rpc, rpc-reply, and
+ * notification messages are supported.
+ * - ::lyd_parse_ext_op() is used for parsing RPCs/actions, replies, and notifications defined inside extension instances.
+ *
+ * Further information regarding the processing input instance data can be found on the following pages.
+ * - @subpage howtoDataValidation
+ * - @subpage howtoDataWD
+ *
+ * Functions List
+ * --------------
+ * - ::lyd_parse_data()
+ * - ::lyd_parse_data_mem()
+ * - ::lyd_parse_data_fd()
+ * - ::lyd_parse_data_path()
+ * - ::lyd_parse_ext_data()

+/**
+ * @page howtoDataValidation Validating Data
+ *
+ * Data validation is performed implicitly to the input data processed by the [parser](@ref howtoDataParsers) and
+ * on demand via the lyd_validate_*() functions. The explicit validation process is supposed to be used when a (complex or
+ * simple) change is done on the data tree (via [data manipulation](@ref howtoDataManipulation) functions) and the data
+ * tree is expected to be valid (it doesn't make sense to validate modified result of filtered \<get\> operation).
+ *
+ * Similarly to the [data parser](@ref howtoDataParsers), there are individual functions to validate standard data tree
+ * (::lyd_validate_all()) and RPC, Action and Notification (::lyd_validate_op()). For the standard data trees, it is possible
+ * to modify the validation process by @ref datavalidationoptions. This way the state data can be prohibited
+ * (::LYD_VALIDATE_NO_STATE) and checking for mandatory nodes can be limited to the YANG modules with already present data
+ * instances (::LYD_VALIDATE_PRESENT). Validation of the standard data tree can be also limited with ::lyd_validate_module()
+ * function, which scopes only to a specified single YANG module.
+ *
+ * Since the operation data trees (RPCs, Actions or Notifications) can reference (leafref, instance-identifier, when/must
+ * expressions) data from a datastore tree, ::lyd_validate_op() may require additional data tree to be provided. This is a
+ * difference in contrast to the parsing process, when the data are loaded from an external source and invalid reference
+ * outside the operation tree is acceptable.
+ *
+ * Functions List
