+# Boost.Iterator
+
+Boost.Iterator, part of collection of the [Boost C++ Libraries](https://github.com/boostorg), provides tools for building and working with iterators in C++. The library also provides a number of iterator classes that can be used out of the box.
+
+### Directories
+
+* **doc** - Documentation sources
+* **include** - Interface headers of Boost.Iterator
+* **test** - Boost.Iterator unit tests
+* **example** - Boost.Iterator usage examples
+
+### More information
+
+* [Documentation](https://boost.org/libs/iterator)
+* [Report bugs](https://github.com/boostorg/iterator/issues/new). Be sure to mention Boost version, platform and compiler you're using. A small compilable code sample to reproduce the problem is always good as well.
+* Submit your patches as [pull requests](https://github.com/boostorg/iterator/compare) against **develop** branch. Note that by submitting patches you agree to license your modifications under the [Boost Software License, Version 1.0](https://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt).
