+# RIC A1 Mediator
+
+The xApp A1 mediator exposes a generic REST API by which xApps can
+receive and send northbound messages. The A1 mediator will take
+the payload from such generic REST messages, validate the payload,
+and then communicate the payload to the xApp via RMR messaging.
+
+Please see documentation in the docs/ subdirectory.
