  "github_readme_excerpt": "# KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Tools\n\nThis project provides Vulkan tools and utilities that can assist development by enabling developers to verify their applications correct use of the Vulkan API.\n\n## Intro\n\nThe following components are available in this repository:\n\n- [*Mock ICD*](icd/)\n- [*Vkcube and Vkcube++ Demo*](cube/)\n- [*VulkanInfo*](vulkaninfo/)\n- [*Windows Runtime*](windows-runtime-installer/)\n\n## Contact Information\n* [Charles Giessen](mailto:charles@lunarg.com)\n\n## Information for Developing or Contributing:\n\nPlease see the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file in this repository for more details.\nPlease see the [GOVERNANCE.md](GOVERNANCE.md) file in this repository for repository management details.\n\n## How to Build and Run\n\n[BUILD.md](BUILD.md) includes directions for building all components as well as running the vkcube demo applications.\n\n## Version Tagging Scheme\n\nUpdates to this repository which correspond to a new Vulkan specification release are tagged using the following format: `v\u003c`_`version`_`\u003e` (e.g., `v1.3.266`).\n\n**Note**: Marked version releases have undergone thorough testing but do not imply the same quality level as SDK tags. SDK tags follow the `vulkan-sdk-\u003c`_`version`_`\u003e.\u003c`_`patch`_`\u003e` format (e.g., `vulkan-sdk-1.3.266.0`).\n\nThis scheme was adopted following the `1.3.266` Vulkan specification release.\n\n## License\nThis work is released as open source under a Apache-style license from Khronos including a Khronos copyright.\n\nSee LICENSE.txt for a full list of licenses used in this repository.\n\n## Acknowledgements\nWhile this project has been developed primarily by LunarG, Inc., there are many other\ncompanies and individuals making this possible: Valve Corporation, funding\nproject development; Google providing significant contributions to the validation layers;\nKhronos providing oversight and hosting of the project.\n",
