# EDNA – An Elite Dangerous System Data Library

EDNA is a library for third party apps that want to access data about star
systems, stations and CMDRs of the game Elite Dangerous. It can query
[EDSM](https://edsm.net), [Spansh](https://spansh.uk) and
[EDTS](http://edts.thargoid.space) for data.

The general idea is that you usually do not care _where_ your data comes from,
so this will get it for you wherever it can depending on data availability and
API features.

**THIS IS A HEAVY WIP PROJECT AND *NOT* READY FOR PRODUCTION USE.** Just saying.

## Why EDNA⁈

Why not. I find it quite funny that most Elite-related project are 4 letter
acronyms starting with “ED”. So I stuck to that, and I had just played “Edna &
Harvey: The Breakout” with the kids. It’s not actually an acronym though because
I couldn’t come up with a meaning for NA.
