+This is the source of the official Apache Fineract Java Client library.
+
+It is mostly autogenerated using **Swagger Codegen**, but includes a number of hand-written utility classes to aid in its usage.
+
+There is some [documentation about it here](https://github.com/apache/fineract/blob/develop/fineract-doc/src/docs/en/05_client.adoc).
+
+Please contribute improvements to this (a submodule of Apache Fineract) if this client library has gaps for what you need it for.
