<h3 id="with-text">...with text</h3><!-- Ledger, hledger, beancount, and other **[Ledger-likes](#ledger-likes)** --><!-- are minimalist software tools for efficient double-entry-style accounting. --><!-- <\!-- **[double-entry-style](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10512418)** accounting. -\-> --><!-- This site introduces them and their way of doing things. --><p>In 2003, John Wiegley invented Ledger: a plain text data format and command-line reporting tool for efficient double-entry-style accounting. This idea went viral among software developers and technical folk, and we now have 5+ actively-developed <strong><a href="#ledger-likes">Ledger-likes</a></strong> such as hledger and Beancount, with 40+ add-on tools and an active community. This site was created in 2016 to introduce our tools, documentation, and practices.</p><p>Accounting data is valuable; we want to know that it will be accessible for ever - even without software. We want to know when it changes, and revision-control it. We want to search and manipulate it efficiently. So, we store it as human-readable <strong><a href="http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#The-Most-Basic-Entry">plain</a> <a href="http://hledger.org/manual.html#journal-format">text</a></strong>.</p><p>We simplify debits and credits by using <strong><a href="http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Stating-where-money-goes">signed numbers</a></strong> - positive for inflows to an account, negative for outflows from an account.</p><p>We define arbitrary <strong><a href="http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Structuring-your-Accounts">account</a> <a href="http://hledger.org/manual.html#account-names">hierarchy</a></strong> to suit our needs. This scales smoothly from simple to complex scenarios, and from high-level overview to fine detail.</p><p>Ledger-likes are, at least in part, <strong><a href="http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Basic-Usage">command-line</a> <a href="http://hledger.org/manual.html#hledger">tools</a></strong>. This makes them efficient to use and very <strong><a href="#related-tools">scriptable</a></strong> and flexible.</p><p>Ledger-likes also, at their core, tend towards <strong><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics)">functional operation</a></strong>: they read the input data without changing it, and output a report. This simple model makes them easy to understand and rely on.</p>
