About:
libgedit-gfls is a core library from the Gedit Technology project, handling robust file loading and saving operations. It provides a stable, reusable foundation for text editors and applications needing reliable I/O, including character encoding detection and safe write operations. This component enables consistent file management across the Gedit ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Automatic character encoding detection
  • Safe atomic file saving to prevent data loss
  • Lightweight and efficient C library
  • Integration with GLib/GObject for easy adoption
Use Cases:
  • Building text editors or IDEs that require reliable file I/O
  • Adding robust file handling to existing GLib-based applications
Alternatives:
  • GTK Text Buffer I/O – Lower-level and less specialized than libgedit-gfls for dedicated file operations.
  • GLib GFile – Provides basic I/O, whereas libgedit-gfls adds editor-specific logic like encoding detection.
