Description

Provides AppStream tools and libraries for describing applications, components, releases, screenshots, and metadata across Linux distributions. Software centers use this metadata to show useful app information to users.

Install it when building, validating, or consuming AppStream metadata. It is infrastructure for app stores and package metadata rather than an app store UI by itself.
