# gst-plugins-rs [](https://crates.io/crates/gst-plugin) [](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/commits/master)
Infrastructure for writing [GStreamer](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/)
plugins and elements in the [Rust programming
language](https://www.rust-lang.org/), and a collection of various GStreamer
plugins.
Documentation for the crate containing the infrastructure for writing
GStreamer plugins in Rust, [`gst-plugin`](gst-plugin), can be found
[here](https://slomo.pages.freedesktop.org/rustdocs/gst-plugin/gst_plugin). The whole
API builds upon the [application-side GStreamer bindings](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer-rs).
Check the README.md of that repository also for details about how to set-up
your development environment.
Various example plugins can be found in the [GIT repository](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/). A blog post series about writing GStreamer plugins/elements can be found [here](https://coaxion.net/blog/2018/01/how-to-write-gstreamer-elements-in-rust-part-1-a-video-filter-for-converting-rgb-to-grayscale/)[2](https://coaxion.net/blog/2018/02/how-to-write-gstreamer-elements-in-rust-part-2-a-raw-audio-sine-wave-source/).
