"""
`BibTeX <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BibTeX>`_ is a bibliographic data file format.

The :mod:`bibtexparser` module can parse BibTeX files and write them. The API is similar to the
:mod:`json` module. The parsed data is returned as a simple :class:`BibDatabase` object with the main attribute being
:attr:`entries` representing bibliographic sources such as books and journal articles.

The following functions provide a quick and basic way to manipulate a BibTeX file.
More advanced features are also available in this module.

Parsing a file is as simple as::

    import bibtexparser
    with open('bibtex.bib') as bibtex_file:
       bibtex_database = bibtexparser.load(bibtex_file)

And writing::

    import bibtexparser
    with open('bibtex.bib', 'w') as bibtex_file:
        bibtexparser.dump(bibtex_database, bibtex_file)
