glib-networking

brew install glib-networking v2.80.1 LGPL-2.1-or-later

Network extensions for GLib, including TLS and certificate validation via GnuTLS.

Why you might care

Build and runtime dependency for GNOME/GTK applications that need HTTPS/TLS support through GLib's networking APIs. Provides GIO-based TLS backends and certificate validation without bundling OpenSSL—integrates with the system's GnuTLS stack. Rarely installed directly; pulled in by GTK, Evolution, and similar libraries.
