  FACTORY I/O is a software simulation tool that allows users to create and
  simulate industrial automation systems in a virtual environment. It provides
  a realistic and interactive platform for training, testing, and
  troubleshooting automation processes without the need for physical equipment.
  Users can design their own control systems, program PLCs, and observe the
  behavior of machines and processes in real-time.

    description: >-
      The web server in Factory I/O exposes a REST API for reading and writing
      simulation values from external clients. The web server uses conventional
      HTTP response codes to indicate success or failure: 2xx for success, 4xx
      for client errors, and 5xx for errors in Factory I/O.
