As the README mentioned , libnetconf2 is more efficient but some service side fucntions not fully supported. our device has a DB module, so it seems like we should develop a netconf to DB adaptor module . if we don't care datastore funtion, Is the libnetconf2 more better to our project?
or could you give your opinion? thanks

The main point in the README is that libnetconf2 implements only the NETCONF transport and manipulation with the messages. It does not implement operations like <get> or <edit-config> because they need to be applied to the configuration data in the NETCONF datastore which is not part of libnetconf2.

So, if you are able to implement NETCONF server with e.g. NETCONF session management and apply NETCONF operations to the server (session and datastore management (lock, unlock, kill-session, notifications) and configuration data (edit-config, get, ...)), you should be fine with libnetconf2.
