# AppStream Software & Library
Utilities to generate, maintain and access the [[AppStream|Distributions/AppStream]] Xapian database.
## What is AppStream-Core?
AppStream-Core makes it easy to access application 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 applications.
The libappstream library can be used by 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 AppStream utilities are **beta software** at time, and the API might change a lot during the development process. Please keep that in mind when using it!
## Get it!
You can download the latest release [[here|http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/releases/]]
## Documentation
Documentation for the AppStream project, including how to ship AppStream data with your distribution or application, as well as libappstream API docs can be found [[on the documentation pages|http://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/]].
