+ lv2:documentation """
+<p>This extension provides a mechanism for plugins to save and restore state
+across instances, allowing hosts to save, restore, clone, or take a snapshot of
+a plugin instance's state at any point in time. The intention is for a plugin
+instance's state to be <em>completely</em> described by port values (as with all
+LV2 plugins) and a simple dictionary.</p>
+
+<p>The <q>state</q> described by this extension is conceptually a single
+key/value dictionary, where keys are URIDs and values are type-tagged blobs of
+any type. The plugin provides an LV2_State_Interface for working with this
+state. To save or restore, the host calls LV2_State_Interface::save() or
+LV2_State_Interface::restore(), passing a callback to be used for handling a
+single key/value pair. The host is free to implement saving and restoring in
+any way; the actual mechanism is completely abstract from the plugin's
+perspective.</p>
+
+<p>Because state is a simple dictionary, hosts and plugins can work with it
+easily from many languages and protocols. Keys are URIDs for performance
+reasons as well as RDF compatibility, which makes it simple to serialise state
+in many formats (e.g. any RDF syntax, JSON, XML, key/value databases such as
+BDB, etc.). In particular, state can be elegantly described in a plugin's
+Turtle description, which is useful for e.g. presets or default state.
+Specific keys may be described in Turtle on the fly or in extensions,
+allowing plugins to use common well-defined keys.</p>
+
+<p>This extension defines a conceptual model of state and a mechanism for
+saving and restoring it, but no interface for manipulating it dynamically.
+While no such mechanism is defined here, dynamic control of plugins SHOULD be
+achieved by generic manipulations of the same conceptual state dictionary used
+by this extension (e.g. <code>plugin->set(key, value)</code>). Accordingly,
+plugins SHOULD use meaningful and well-defined keys wherever possible.</p>
+
+<p>In pseudo code, a typical use case in a plugin is:</p>
+<pre class="c-code">
+#define NS_EG "http://example.org/"
+#define NS_ATOM "http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/atom#"
+
+LV2_Handle my_instantiate(...)
+{

+ return plugin;
+}
+
+void my_save(LV2_Handle instance,
+ LV2_State_Store_Function store,

+ uint32_t flags,
+ const LV2_Feature *const * features)
+
+{
+ MyPlugin* plugin = (MyPlugin*)instance;
+ const char* greeting = plugin->state.greeting;
+
+ store(handle,
+ plugin->uris.eg_greeting,
+ greeting,
+ strlen(greeting) + 1,
+ plugin->uris.atom_String,
+ LV2_STATE_IS_POD | LV2_STATE_IS_PORTABLE);
+}
