About:
Libpeas is a GObject-based plugin library that provides a framework for dynamically loading and managing plugins in applications. It enables developers to extend software functionality at runtime without recompilation, leveraging the GObject Introspection for language bindings. This library simplifies creating modular, extensible applications within the GNOME ecosystem.
Key Features:
  • Dynamic plugin loading and management
  • GObject Introspection support for multiple languages
  • UI integration via GtkBuilder
  • Extension points for modular architecture
Use Cases:
  • Adding plugin support to GNOME applications
  • Creating extensible text editors or IDEs
  • Building modular desktop software
Alternatives:
  • Peas – Libpeas is the successor to Peas with improved API and GObject Introspection support
  • GPlugin – Alternative plugin system with different architecture, less GNOME-integrated
