[Security model][security-model]. These documents give the necessary background
to understand the API and the use-cases it targets.

### Getting started

Once you have a good understanding of the API at a higher-level, check out
[getting started][getting-started] to install your first Gateway controller and try out
one of the guides.

### References

- [API reference][spec]
- [Go docs for the package][godoc]

## Gateway API conformance

If you are developing a Gateway API implementation and want to run conformance tests
against your project and eventually submit the proof of conformance, visit the [conformance
documentation][conformance-docs] for the test suite documentation, and the conformance
reports [readme][reports-readme] to see the reports submission rules. If you
are a user who wants to explore the features supported by the various implementations,
navigate the [conformance reports][conformance-reports]
