+FIWARE NGSI is the API exported by a FIWARE Context Broker, used for the integration of platform components within a _"Powered by FIWARE"_ platform and by applications to update or consume context information. FIWARE NGSI API specifications have evolved over time, currently matching [NGSIv2 specifications](http://fiware.github.io/specifications/ngsiv2/stable/) but evolving to align with the [ETSI NGSI-LD standard](https://www.etsi.org/committee/cim). The FIWARE Community plays an active role in the evolution of ETSI NGSI-LD specifications which were based on NGSIv2 and commits to deliver compatible open source implementations of the specs.
