+
+Utilities to generate, maintain and access the [[AppStream|AppStream]] Xapian database. 
+
+
+## What is the AppStream software?
+
+LibAppStream makes it easy to access component information from the AppStream database over a nice GObject-based interface.
+It uses a PackageKit plugin to automatically (re)generate the AppStream Xapian database of software components.
+The libappstream library can be used with a wide variety of programming languages (via GObject-Introspection). In combination with [[PackageKit|http://packagekit.org]] in can be used to build software-centers. 
+The software also provides a command-line tool to query the contents of the AppStream database.
+Additionally, the software will abstract some differences which exist between distributions in terms of providing metadata or handling things like screenshots, so you don't have to worry about this.
+
+The AppStream libappstream API might still change a little during the development process. We will notify about any API/ABI breaks in the release notes. (But please keep that in mind when using it!)
+
+
