      The <application>appstream-glib</application> provides GObjects and
      helper methods to make it easy to read and write AppStream metadata.
      It also provides a simple DOM (Document Object Model) implementation 
      that makes it easy to edit nodes and convert to and from the 
      standardized XML representation.
