LV2 plugins are defined in two parts: code and data. The code is written in C, or any C compatible language such as C++. Static data is described separately in the human and machine friendly http://www.w3.org/TeamSubmission/turtle/[Turtle] syntax. -Turtle is a syntax for the RDF data model, -but familiarity with RDF is not required to understand this documentation. -Generally, code is kept minimal, -and all static information is described in the data. +Generally, the goal is to keep code minimal, +and describe as much as possible in the static data. There are several advantages to this approach: - * Hosts can discover and inspect plugins without loading or executing any plugin code - * It is simple to work with plugin data using scripting languages, command line tools, etc. - * The standard format allow the use of existing vocabularies to describe plugins and related information - * The data inherently integrates with the web, databases, etc. - * Labels and documentation are translatable, and available to hosts for display in user interfaces + * Hosts can discover and inspect plugins without loading or executing any plugin code. + * Plugin data can be used from a wide range of generic tools like scripting languages and command line utilities. + * The standard data model allows the use of existing vocabularies to describe plugins and related information. + * The language is extensible, so authors may describe any data without requiring changes to the LV2 specification. + * Labels and documentation are translatable, and available to hosts for display in user interfaces. |
