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://gi.readthedocs.io/) 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

[embedding](https://docs.pidgin.im/gplugin/latest/chapter-embedding.html) page.

GPlugin has a bit of history, you can read more about it in [HISTORY.md](HISTORY.md)

GPlugin currently supports plugins written in C/C++, Lua, Python, and Vala.
