title: kmc API Reference
---

kmc is implemented in Typescript as a set of compiler modules. Each module has a
public API, documented in README.md in the corresponding repository folder.

This section is intended for software developers who want to integrate kmc into
their own toolchains. For documentation on using `kmc`, see [kmc command line
compiler](../cli).
