## Hop User Manual

The Apache Hop User Manual contains all the information you need to develop and deploy data solutions with Apache Hop.

We’ve listed a number of starting points that might find useful to you. Check the full list of topics on the left hand side. If you’re a developer and want to extend Hop, want to build new functionality or want to fix a bug you found, check the [developer documentation](http://hop.apache.org/dev-manual/latest/)

| Tip | Hop treats documentation as any other part of software that can have bugs or missing features. If you find any incorrect information or are missing a crucial piece of documentation, please [create an issue on GitHub](https://github.com/apache/hop/issues). |

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.primeur.com/data-shaper-1.21/index-2.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
