<div class="abstract-title">Abstract</div> SWI-Prolog is a comprehensive 
and portable implementation of the Prolog programming language. 
SWI-Prolog aims to be a robust and scalable implementation supporting a 
wide range of applications. In particular, it ships with a wide range of 
interface libraries, providing interfaces to other languages, databases, 
graphics and networking. It provides extensive support for managing 
HTML/SGML/XML and RDF documents. The system is particularly suited for 
server applications due to robust support for multithreading and HTTP 
server libraries.

<p>SWI-Prolog is designed in the `Edinburgh tradition'. In addition to 
the ISO Prolog standard it is largely compatible to Quintus, SICStus and 
YAP Prolog. SWI-Prolog provides a compatibility framework developed in 
cooperation with YAP and instantiated for YAP, SICStus and IF/Prolog.

<p>SWI-Prolog aims at providing a good development environment, 
including extensive editor support, graphical source-level debugger, 
autoloading and `make' facility and much more. SWI-Prolog editor and the 
PDT plugin for Eclipse provide alternative environments.

<p>This document gives an overview of the features, system limits and 
built-in predicates.
