NAPALM: Network Automation and Programmability Abstraction Layer with Multivendor Support

NAPALM (Network Automation and Programmability Abstraction Layer with Multivendor support) is a Python library that provides a unified API to interact with various network devices from different vendors (e.g., Cisco IOS/XR/NX-OS, Arista EOS, Juniper Junos). It abstracts away vendor-specific complexities, offering a consistent way to retrieve operational data and manage configurations. The current version is 5.1.0, with regular releases, typically major updates every 6-12 months and minor/patch releases in between.
