# gobject-introspection OCaml package

The OCaml bindings to the [GObject-Introspection](https://gi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) library based on Ctypes.

## Installation

the package gobject-introspection is now published and available in the opam-repository:

```

opam install gobject-introspection

```

## API:

https://cedlemo.github.io/OCaml-GObject-Introspection/

## Usage

Two ideas to explore:

 - Create a generic Ctypes bindings generator, based on ocaml-gobject-introspection,

   for the GNOME libraries : https://github.com/cedlemo/OCaml-GI-ctypes-bindings-generator

 - Create a generic FFI bindings generator for bucklescript in order to be able to

   use the javascript bindings to the GNOME libraries. (I am not sure if it is

   faisable).
