+This new version now is 0.6 and it is no longer compatible with version 0.2.33. If you use the old JSON-NLP standard in your code, make sure you require version 0.2.33 of *pyjsonnlp*. This new version is compatible with the newest version of [Go JSON-NLP].

 ## Introduction
 
 There is a growing number of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, modules, pipelines. There does not seem to be any standard for the output format. Here we are focusing on a standard for the output format syntax. Some future version of [JSON-NLP] might address the output semantics as well.
 
-[JSON-NLP] is a standard for the most important outputs NLP pipelines and components can generate. The relevant documentation can be found in the [JSON-NLP] GitHub repo and on its website at the [NLP-Lab].

 The Python [JSON-NLP] module contains general mapping functions for [JSON-NLP] to [CoNLL-U], a validator for the generated output, an NLP pipeline interface (for [Flair], [spaCy], [NLTK], [Polyglot], [Xrenner], etc.), and various utility functions.
