This library implements basic wayland protocols as well as various other wayland protocols like 'xdg-shell' and many more. Using twobjects, you can focus on building your own unique features for the compositor and let it handle the most tedious protocol implementations.It doesn't expose everything as `wl_signals` like wlroots does, so you don't need to write additional glue code for it.
