GstElementFactory is a factory class in GStreamer that holds the metadata of a registered element type and creates instances of it. You can create an element by giving a name (e.g. videotestsrc) to gst_element_factory_make, or obtain a factory with gst_element_factory_find and then query its description, classification, and supported pad templates and caps. The plugin registry manages these factories.
