This is the backend for [PDM] projects that is fully-compatible with [PEP 517] spec, but you can also use it alone.

It reads the metadata of [PEP 621] format and coverts it to [Core metadata].

[pep 517]: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0517/

[pep 621]: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0621/

[Core metadata]: https://packaging.python.org/specifications/core-metadata/

[PDM]: https://pdm-project.org
