MeeGo API 1.2 Overview

MeeGo API is aimed for application developers and it contains a sufficient toolset for most application development projects.

On this site, you can browse MeeGo API and learn about its capabilities. To serve both beginners and more advanced developers, MeeGo API has been categorised both according to topics and libraries.

To get started, you have two options:

Directly browse the tree view of the MeeGo API reference on the left (to select the categorisation type, click the appropriate tab on the left side of the view).
Refer to the sections by topic or libraries for a quick overview of the MeeGo API.

Note: Since MeeGo API is still work in progress, the contents of the API are subject to change.

To make it easier for you to find APIs to use for a particular function in your application, MeeGo API topics have been categorised according to their functions.

Each API listed in the topics linked to below is a part of a specific library in the MeeGo API. In some cases, it may be necessary to identify the originating libraries of the APIs you decide to use. Therefore, for each API, the originating library is also identified in the rightmost column of the tables on the service pages.

The table below describes MeeGo API by topic:

**MeeGo API topics**
Topic	Content
Application Frameworks	Frameworks for building application UIs
Communications	Social and human interaction, connectivity and networking
Graphics	Generating and rendering 2D and 3D graphics
Location	Identifying geographical location of the device or, for example, landmarks.
Multimedia	Media playback and recording, streaming
Personal Information Management	Personal information, such as contacts, calendar entries, and business cards
System	Access to device resources

You can also browse MeeGo API categorised according to library.
This categorisation makes it easier for advanced developers to choose
which specific libraries they want their application to have as a
dependency.

MeeGo API libraries provide the fundamental toolset for developing applications for MeeGo-compliant handsets.

The tables below describe MeeGo API libraries:

**MeeGo API libraries**
Library	Content
EGL 1.4	An interface between the platform window system and rendering APIs such as OpenGL and OpenVG. Makes it possible to use several rendering APIs together. Can be used for accelerated mixed-mode 2D and 3D rendering.
GStreamer	Library which allows you to create media-handling components, such as simple audio playback, audio and video playback, recording, streaming and editing. The components can be used to create versatile multimedia applications including video editors, streaming media broadcasters, and media players. GStreamer is written in the C programming language with the type system based on GObject, and it is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License.
OpenGL ES 1.1	A low-level API for producing hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics. Use OpenGL ES 1.1 to maximise portability to a large number of devices.
OpenGL ES 2.0	A current version of OpenGL ES. Features a programmable 3D graphics pipeline. Use OpenGL ES 2.0 to achieve maximum performance with the programmable hardware.
PulseAudio	Low-latency tools for advanced audio processing
Qt 4.7	Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt, you can write web-enabled applications once and deploy them across desktop, mobile and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code. Note: MeeGo 1.2 supports Qt 4.7.
Qt Mobility 1.2	Qt APIs that enable access to many mobile device specific functionalities. Qt Mobility APIs enable cross-platform mobile application development. Note: MeeGo 1.2 supports Qt Mobility 1.2.
Qt Webkit 2.1	The QtWebKit module provides a web browser engine as well as classes to render and interact with web content.
Telepathy-Qt4	Qt4 high-level binding for Telepathy, which is a D-Bus framework for unifying real time communication. It allows access to services such as instant messaging, voice calls, and video calls.
