+Welcome to the [sol-compiler](https://github.com/0xProject/0x-monorepo/tree/development/packages/sol-compiler) documentation! Sol-compiler is a tool for compiling Solidity smart contracts and generating artifacts with ease.
+
+It serves a similar purpose as parts of the [Truffle framework](http://truffleframework.com/), but with the UNIX philosophy in mind: Make each program do one thing well. This tool is for intermediate to advanced Solidity developers that require greater configurability and reliability.
+
+Sol-compiler has the following advantages over Truffle:
+
+*   Compile each smart contract with a specific version of Solidity.
+*   Improved artifact files:
+    *   Storage of constructor args, source maps and paths to all requisite source files.
+    *   An easy to maintain codebase: TypeScript + Single repo.
+    *   Supports Solidity version ranges - contract compiled with latest Solidity version that satisfies the range.
+
+Sol-compiler can be used as a command-line tool or as an imported module.
