GLibfriendly

GLibfriendly is a term used to describe software or libraries that are designed to be easily integrated with or used alongside GLib, a cross-platform collection of utility functions and data structures. GLib is a fundamental part of the GTK+ toolkit and is widely used in GNOME desktop environment applications. Software that is GLibfriendly often adheres to GLib's conventions, uses its data types, and may offer direct bindings or compatibility layers for GLib-based applications. This facilitates development for those already working within the GLib/GTK+ ecosystem, as it reduces the effort required to incorporate new components or features. It implies a level of interoperability and shared design philosophy, making it simpler to build complex applications that leverage the strengths of both GLib and the GLibfriendly component. Developers aiming for broad compatibility within Linux desktop environments often prioritize making their software GLibfriendly.
