+# Meet Ninject [![NuGet Version](http://img.shields.io/nuget/v/Ninject.svg?style=flat)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Ninject/) [![NuGet Downloads](http://img.shields.io/nuget/dt/Ninject.svg?style=flat)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Ninject/)
+Ninject is a lightning-fast, ultra-lightweight dependency injector for .NET applications. It helps you split your
+application into a collection of loosely-coupled, highly-cohesive pieces, and then glue them back together in a
+flexible manner. By using Ninject to support your software's architecture, your code will become easier to write,
+reuse, test, and modify.
+
+## Ninject is:
+
+1. **Focused.** Too many existing dependency injection projects sacrifice usability for features that aren't often necessary.
+   Each time a feature is added to Ninject, its benefit is weighed against the complexity it adds to everyday use. Our goal
+   is to keep the barrier to entry - the baseline level of knowledge required to use Ninject - as low as possible. Ninject
+   has many advanced features, but understanding them is not required to use the basic features.
+
+2. **Sleek.** Framework bloat is a major concern for some projects, and as such, all of Ninject's core functionality is in a
+   single assembly with no dependencies outside the .NET base class library. This single assembly's footprint is approximately
+   85KB when compiled for release.
+
+3. **Fast.** Instead of relying on reflection for invocation, Ninject takes advantage of lightweight code generation in the CLR.
+   This can result in a dramatic (8-50x) improvement in performance in many situations.
+
+4. **Precise.** Ninject helps developers get things right the first time around. Rather than relying on XML mapping files and
+   string identifiers to wire up components, Ninject provides a robust domain-specific language. This means that Ninject
+   takes advantage of the capabilities of the language (like type-safety) and the IDE (like IntelliSense and code completion).
+
+5. **Agile.** Ninject is designed around a component-based architecture, with customization and evolution in mind. Many facets
+   of the system can be augmented or modified to fit the requirements of each project.
+
+6. **Stealthy.** Ninject will not invade your code. You can easily isolate the dependency on Ninject to a single assembly in
+   your project.
+
+7. **Powerful.** Ninject includes many advanced features. For example, Ninject is the first dependency injector to support
+   contextual binding, in which a different concrete implementation of a service may be injected depending on the context in
+   which it is requested.
+
+## Everything else is in Extensions
+
+Yes, sounds slim and focused, but where is the support for all the features that the competitors have? 
+
+Generally, they are maintained as specific focused extensions with owners who keep them in sync and pull in new ideas and fixes fast. These are summarized on the [extensions](http://ninject.org/extensions) section of the project website. Most are hosted alongside the core project right here.
+
+## License
+Ninject is intended to be used in both open-source and commercial environments. To allow its use in as many
+situations as possible, Ninject is dual-licensed. You may choose to use Ninject under either the Apache License,
+Version 2.0, or the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL). These licenses are essentially identical, but you are
+encouraged to evaluate both to determine which best fits your intended use.
