12+ ## Why another LDAP library?
13+
14+ If you want to communicate with an LDAP server in Elixir, you probably know
15+ that there are other libraries out there. However, I didn't find one that
16+ suited me:
17+
18+ - The [ ` :eldap ` ] ( http://erlang.org/doc/man/eldap.html ) library is great, but
19+ very low-level, with no high-level features.
20+
21+ - [ EctoLdap] ( https://github.com/jeffweiss/ecto_ldap ) is very interesting, but I
22+ needed the add / modify / delete operations (in fact, I even wanted to do an
23+ Ecto adapter at first).
24+
25+ - [ Exldap] ( https://github.com/jmerriweather/exldap ) and
26+ [ LDAPEx] ( https://github.com/OvermindDL1/ldap_ex ) are both a translation of
27+ the LDAP ` :eldap ` in Elixir, which is nice, but are still missing some
28+ higher-level functionalities.
