GuiLite is the smallest GUI library with 5000 lines of C++ code, it runs on all platforms(e.g, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, macOS, Docker and MCU with or without OS).
GuiLite is embeddable, it runs inside other UI frameworks(e.g, Qt, MFC, Winform, Cocoa). You could use GuiLite features and host UI features simultaneously.
GuiLite render UI by itself, independent of OS & Graphic library.
GuiLite could work with many languages(e.g. Swift, Java, C#, Golang).
🔧We want people to customize GuiLite.
⚙️We hope GuiLite is small enough to help you understand how UI works.
👑You should be the master of your UI and not be tied to a specific framework.

🔥New feature：GuiLite previewer(WYSIWYG extension for GuiLite)

GuiLite Previewer is a Visual Studio Code extension, could extract GUI information from C++ code and preview GUI at preview page(What you see is what you get)
No need for drag-and-drop widgets, everything (e.g. code/design/build/debug) could be done by coding
No need for special GUI editor(e.g. Android Studio, Qt designer)
No need for Extensible Markup Language(e.g. xml, xaml)

Features

ARM Linux	STM32 Without OS

Windows Mixed Reality	Android

macOS	iOS

We build GuiLite demo as docker image, you can update/deploy/run the latest GuiLite demo on your device with single command below:

sudo docker run -it --privileged -v /dev:/dev-share idea4good/gui-lite:latest bash /run.sh

GuiLite is only a framework, could not create UI by itself. In order to show how to build UI App with it, We provide some samples for you.
