# Introduction

![dlt pacman](/img/dlt-pacman.gif)

## Summary

`dlt` is an open source library that you include in a Python script to create a highly
scalable, easy to maintain, straightforward to deploy data [pipeline](./glossary.md#pipeline).
Once you set it up, it will then automatically turn JSON returned by any
[source](./glossary.md#source) (e.g. an API) into a live dataset stored in the
[destination](./glossary.md#destination) of your choice (e.g. Google BigQuery).

## Who should use `dlt`?

Anyone who solves problems in their job using Python should use `dlt` (e.g. data scientists,
data analysts, etc).

## What does `dlt` do?

## How does `dlt` work?
`dlt` is used to automate fetching data for others, copying production data to somewhere else, putting data from an API into a database, getting data for dashboards that automatically refresh with new data, and more.

## How does `dlt` work?

`dlt` extracts data from a [source](./glossary.md#source), inspects its structure to create a [schema](./glossary.md#schema), normalizes and verifies the data,
and then loads the data into a [destination](./glossary.md#destination).
You can read more about how it works [here](./architecture.md).
