Exchange is a lightweight utility designed for developers working with GTK user interfaces. The application helps convert between different GTK UI definition formats, specifically XML and Blueprint. This is useful when migrating projects, experimenting with Blueprint-based workflows, or translating existing GTK interface files into another representation.
Blueprint provides a more concise and human-friendly way to describe GTK interfaces, while XML is widely used in existing GTK projects. Exchange simplifies moving between these formats by automating the conversion process and detecting the format of input files automatically. This saves developers time and reduces the risk of manual conversion errors.
This is free and open source software.
