= GPGME - an API to GnuPG

The recommended way to use the ~GnuPG crypto stack from your application is ~G~PGME, which is written in C.
Here is the [[https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gpgme/|online version of the manual (maybe out of date)]].

A number of binding for other programming languages/environments exist:
Below is an **incomplete** list:

== C wrappers ==

 * [[https://www.gnupg.org/gpgme.html|gpgme]] (GPG Made Easy) is the official GnuPG wrapper written in C

== C++ wrappers ==

 * http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdepimlibs.git gpgme++ is a wrapper for gpgme in kdepimlibs


== Java wrappers ==

* [[https://github.com/guardianproject/gnupg-for-java|GnuPG-for-Java]] is a Java wrapper for gpgme >=1.5 and GnuPG >=2.x
* [[https://github.com/smartrevolution/gnupg-for-java|GnuPG-for-Java]] is a Java wrapper for gpgme and GnuPG 1.x
* [[https://github.com/guardianproject/gnupg-for-android|Gnu Privacy Guard]] is an Android app based [[https://github.com/guardianproject/gnupg-for-java|GnuPG-for-Java]] and gpgme to provide a GnuPG engine in Android

== Objective-C ==

* [[https://github.com/GPGTools/Libmacgpg|Libmacgpg]] is a Mac OS X Framework built on top of GnuPG (but not gpgme), used as part of the [[https://gpgtools.org/|GPGTools suite]].


== Python wrappers ==

 * [[https://bitbucket.org/malb/pyme|pyme]] ~SWIG generated wrapper (continuation of the [[http://pyme.sourceforge.net/|old version]])
 * https://launchpad.net/pygpgme manually written wrapper in C
