Matrix Client SDK for GLib
This is a Matrix.org client-server SDK for GLib >= 2.40. It contains both raw API calls and a signal based asynchronous client. The API and ABI are both very volatile as of now; don’t rely on any specific feature until the API is frozen.
The main interfaces are MatrixAPI and
MatrixClient. MatrixHTTPAPI and MatrixHTTPClient implement these
interfaces, respectively and can communicate with an HTTP based
homeserver. If a new protocol becomes supported oficially, a new API
and Client class will be added.
Usage
The SDK provides two layers of interaction. The low-level layer
(MatrixAPI implementations like MatrixHTTPAPI) just wraps the raw
API calls. The high-level layer (MatrixClient implementations like
MatrixHTTPClient) is a GMainLoop based asynchronous object that
emits GObject signals and uses the low-level layer to provide an
object model to perform actions on.
Client
The MatrixClient interface is not fully planned yet.
