  Description     : Markup language for GTK user interface files



GtkBuilder XML format is quite verbose, and many app developers don't like
 using WYSIWYG editors for creating UIs. Blueprint files are intended 
to be a
 concise, easy-to-read format that makes it easier to create and edit 
GTK UIs.
 Internally, it compiles to GtkBuilder XML as part of an app's build 
system. It
 adds no new features, just makes the features that exist more accessible.
 Another goal is to have excellent developer tooling--including a language
 server--so that less knowledge of the format is required. Hopefully 
this will
 increase adoption of cool advanced features like GtkExpression.
