README: Re-phrase the mentioning of ABI
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
ABI (Application Binary Interface), can be a confusing term for
people who stumble over it. What we want to achieve is to let people
know that the interface is stable and backwards compatible.

# Learn about CLAP

CLAP stands for **CL**ever **A**udio **P**lugin.
It is an audio plugin ABI which defines a standard for *Digital Audio Workstations* and audio plugins (synthesizers, audio effects, ...) to work together.
CLAP stands for **CL**ever **A**udio **P**lugin. It is an interface that
provides a stable ABI to define a standard for *Digital Audio Workstations* and
audio plugins (synthesizers, audio effects, ...) to work together.

The ABI, or **A**pplication **B**inary **I**nterface, serves as a means of
communication between a host and a plugin. It provides backwards compatibility,
that is, a plugin binary compiled with CLAP 1.x can be loaded by any other
CLAP 1.y.

To work with CLAP, include [clap/clap.h](include/clap/clap.h).
