+### High-Level API
+The new high-level API provides an easier way to get started with Elektra.
+
+To get started (including proper error handling) you now only need a few self-explanatory lines of code:
+```c
+ElektraError * error;
+Elektra * elektra = elektraOpen ("/sw/org/myapp/#0/current", NULL, &error);
+if (elektra == NULL)
+{
+ printf ("An error occured: %s", elektraErrorDescription (error));
+ elektraErrorReset (error);
+ return -1;
+}
+
+// use API
+
+elektraClose (elektra);
+```
+
+Once you have an instance of `Elektra` you simply call one of the typed `elektraGet*` functions to read a value:
+```c
+const char * mystring = elektraGetString (elektra, "mystring");
+```
+No need to specify the base path `/sw/org/myapp/#0/current` anymore, as the high-level API keeps track of that for you.
+The API supports the CORBA types already used by some plugins. The high-level API should also be used in combination
+with a specification (`spec-mount`). When used this way, the API is designed to be error and crash free while reading values.
+Writing values, can of course still produces errors.
+
+Another advantage of the new API is, that it will be much easier to write bindings for other languages now, because only a few simply
+types and functions have to be mapped to provide the full functionality.
Take a look at the [README](/src/libs/highlevel/README.md) for more infos.
