+
+=======
+mozinfo
+=======
+
+``mozinfo`` is a solution for representing a subset of build
+configuration and run-time data.
+
+``mozinfo`` data is typically accessed through a ``mozinfo.json`` file
+which is written to the :term:`object directory` during build
+configuration. The code for writing this file lives in
+:py:mod:`mozbuild.mozinfo`.
+
+``mozinfo.json`` is an object/dictionary of simple string values.
+
+The attributes in ``mozinfo.json`` are used for many purposes. One use
+is to filter tests for applicability to the current build. For more on
+this, see :ref:`test_manifests`.
