# Interfaces
In [Using an element as a GObject][element-object], you have
learned how to use `GObject` properties as a simple way to do
interaction between applications and elements. This method suffices for
the simple'n'straight settings, but fails for anything more complicated
than a getter and setter. For the more complicated use cases, GStreamer
uses interfaces based on the GObject
[Using an element as a GObject][element-object] presents the use of `GObject`
properties as a simple way for applications and elements to interact. This
method suffices for simple getters and setters, but fails for anything more
complicated. For more complex use cases, GStreamer uses interfaces based on the
`GObject`
[`GTypeInterface`](http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/gtype-non-instantiable-classed.html)
type.
Most of the interfaces handled here will not contain any example code.
See the API references for details. Here, we will just describe the
scope and purpose of each interface.
This text is meant to be introductory and does not include source code examples.
Please take a look a the API reference for additional details.

## The URI Handler interface
In the examples so far, we have only showed support for local files
In our examples so far, we have only showed support for local files
using the “filesrc” element, but GStreamer supports many more location
sources.
