A common question from people who are interested in using GStreamer and who are planning to use C++ is, which C++ bindings to use. Most of the available choices so far are essentially unmaintained or not widely used, so the recommendation was usually to use the C API directly. I hope to change this recommendation now. This year a new C++ bindings generator for GObject-based libraries was announced and gained some traction in GNOME: peel. Unlike alternatives, it is providing headers-only, dependency-less and zero-cost bindings while making use of modern C++ features. In this talk I will give an overview of peel: how to use it, the kind of bindings API it provides and why I believe you should really consider it for any future C++ project making use of GStreamer, no matter if application, library or GStreamer plugin.
