GattLib is a library used to access Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) protocol of BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices.

It is based on Bluez 4.101 GATT code (prior to Bluez D-BUS API).
It is based on Bluez 4.101 GATT code (prior to Bluez D-BUS API). Some changes has been made to support additional features and former versions of Bluez.

It has been introduced to allow to build applications hosted on platform with a version of Bluez prior to v5.x that could easily communicate with BLE devices.

Does this library supports APIs using bluez5.4? Meaning can a developer make a custom profile, service and characteristic and communicate with BLE devices?

I have not tested gattlib with Bluez5.4. I would be interested to know if it works.

I have actually got on my roadmap to add Bluez v5.38+ DBus support to gattlib to make transparent for the user if it uses legacy Bluez interface or Bluez DBus interface.

I am not sure what you mean by the fact a developer could communicate with a custom profile/service/characteristic on a BLE devices. It is already supported in gattlib.

Maybe you mean to create a custom profile/GATT service/GATT characteristic for a BLE device, which is something else. Pre-Bluez v5.38, you should write a Bluez plugin, Post-Bluez v5.38, you can write an application that communicates with DBus to Bluez.
This is not what gattlib is intended to do.

I always mention v5.38 because I personally tested (and fixed: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/commit/?id=bf5606953eaccc47cf3166f456573d2c722f15f3) v5.38 DBus GATT support and I know it works. But every Bluez versions post v5.38 got quite a few fixes for the DBus GATT support.
