During GNOME Boxes development, a set of GObject-based libraries were developed in order to make interactions with libvirt easier. These libraries let you create VMs and manage their lifecycle, handle automatic OS installation. Boxes also used existing GTK+ widget to embed the graphical display of these VMs.  This talk will be an introduction to the libvirt-glib, libosinfo, spice-gtk libraries, and to the libraries revolving around the libvirt stack in general. It will present how these libraries can be used, as well as where they are headed in the future.
