 The low-level Metadata API contains two modules:
 
-* :doc:`tuf.api.metadata` contains the actual Metadata abstraction that higher level libraries and application code should use to interact with TUF metadata. This abstraction provides safe reading and writing to supported file formats and helper functions for accessing and modifying the metadata contents.
-* :doc:`tuf.api.serialization` covers serializing the metadata into specific wire formats (like json).
