-geocode-glib is a convenience library for the geocoding (finding longitude,
-and latitude from an address) and reverse geocoding (finding an address from
-coordinates). It uses Nominatim service to achieve that. It also caches
-(reverse-)geocoding requests for faster results and to avoid unnecessary server
-load.
+librest has been designed to make it easier to access web services that claim
+to be "RESTful". A reasonable definition of what this means can be found on
+Wikipedia. However a reasonable description is that a RESTful service should
+have urls that represent remote objects which methods can then be called on.
