Description: Library to access AppStream services
AppStream is a metadata specification which permits software components to
provide information about themselves to automated systems and end-users
before the software is actually installed.
This permits informative displays of new applications to users in software
centers, as well as allowing a system to make decisions on which new software
a user might want to install (e.g. missing firmware or media handlers).
.
This package contains a GObject-based library to access AppStream
services, like the software component metadata pool.
It also contains functions for reading, writing and transforming AppStream
metadata.
