Gravity

Gravity is Hemera's main middleware, and consists of a set of libraries and executables.

Gravity takes care of everything needed for running Hemera applications and services, and provides DBus APIs for various lifecycle and commodity services. Its functionalities can be extended via a plugin system which allows plugins to tap into Gravity's main functionalities directly, with additional privileges and features.

Gravity is entirely written in Qt5/C++. Its APIs should be exposed by client libraries, such as Hemera Qt5 SDK, and are not Qt dependent, as everything is exposed via a set of DBus interfaces.
