1*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe layerindexlib module is designed to permit programs to work directly
2*4882a593Smuzhiyunwith layer index information.  (See layers.openembedded.org...)
3*4882a593Smuzhiyun
4*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe layerindexlib module includes a plugin interface that is used to extend
5*4882a593Smuzhiyunthe basic functionality.  There are two primary plugins available: restapi
6*4882a593Smuzhiyunand cooker.
7*4882a593Smuzhiyun
8*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe restapi plugin works with a web based REST Api compatible with the
9*4882a593Smuzhiyunlayerindex-web project, as well as the ability to store and retried a
10*4882a593Smuzhiyunthe information for one or more files on the disk.
11*4882a593Smuzhiyun
12*4882a593SmuzhiyunThe cooker plugin works by reading the information from the current build
13*4882a593Smuzhiyunproject and processing it as if it were a layer index.
