# Overview

# Introduction

The MIME Directory Library (or libmimedir in short) is a versatile shared library for parsing and writing MIME Directory Information as described in [MIMEDIR]. Additionally, it contains classes for handling vCard (see [VCARD]) and iCalendar (see [ICAL]) files.

Libmimedir is based on the GObject system and makes heavy use of its property system. Nearly all attributes of vCards or iCalendar components are accessible as properties, while some convenience access functions are provided. Please see the API description for more information.
