It also provides a DOM implementation to edit nodes and convert to and from the standardized XML representation. This library allows to: * Read and write compressed AppStream XML files * Add and search for applications in an application store * Get screenshot image data and release announcements * Easily retrieve the best application data for the current locale * Efficiently interface with more heavy-weight parsers like expat
