+Jalv
+====
+
+Jalv is a simple but fully featured LV2 host for Jack which exposes plugin
+ports to Jack, essentially making any LV2 plugin function as a Jack
+application.
+For more information, see <http://drobilla.net/software/jalv>.
+
+Jalv is a small program which is useful, but also intended to be an appropriate
+test host for plugin development. It runs plugins from the command line with
+no user interaction, is light enough to run in valgrind, and is capable of
+dumping all communication between the plugin and its UI in a human readable
+format.
+
+To make it simple to test plugins in hosts that use different toolkits, there
+are several Jalv executables: jalv, jalv.gtk, jalv.gtkmm, and jalv.qt.
