libebook-1.2, libedata-book-1.2 - addressbook library, backend library
for Evolution addressbook
DESCRIPTION
libebook-1.2 provides classes for client interactions. It relies on the
classes in libedata-book which runs in an instance of Evolution Data
Server to provide the data.
libedata-book-1.2 provides classes for backend implementation. Writing
an address book backend for the Evolution Data Server involves extend‐
ing the EBookBackend class and implementing its virtual methods. Back‐
ends that require network communication generally extend the EBookBack‐
end class. This class makes sure the backend return the results of its
operations asynchronously. Other backends, including the file and vcf
ones, extend EBookBackendSync, which is derived from EBookBackend and
provides wrappers around its virtual functions to facilitate backend
implementation when network performance is not of concern.
