GPlugin is a GObject based library that implements a reusable plugin system.

It supports loading plugins in multiple other languages via loaders. It relies

heavily on [GObjectIntrospection](https://wiki.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection)

to expose its API to the other languages.

It has a simple API which makes it very easy to use in your application.

For more information on using GPlugin in your application, please see the
