# Documentation
These guides describe how to use and maintain abi-typegen. For version-specific
changes, see the [changelog](../CHANGELOG.md). Documentation on the main branch
can include behavior listed under Unreleased; use a release tag's documentation
when working with an older package.
## Using abi-typegen
- [Installation](installation.md): npm and native installation, supported
platforms, checksum verification, and download troubleshooting.
- [Configuration](configuration.md): Foundry, Hardhat, CLI overrides, contract
selection, and importing ABIs.
- [Generated output](generated-output.md): filenames, wrapper behavior, type
mappings, and what each target provides.
- [Forge integration](forge-integration.md): build commands, CI checks, shell
integration, and watching artifacts.
- [Choosing a binding tool](comparison.md): output tradeoffs and how to measure
generation performance for your project.
## Developing and releasing
- [Contributing](../CONTRIBUTING.md): bug reports, code conventions, tests, and
pull-request guidance.
- [Development](development.md): source builds, repository layout, and validation
commands.
- [Build and cache storage](development-storage.md): optional local storage
configuration, migration, and returning to defaults.
- [Releasing](releasing.md): matching package versions, binary assets, checksum
manifests, and publication order.
