Introduction

GuiLite is the smallest GUI library with 5000 lines of code, could run on all platforms(e.g, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, macOS, Docker and MCU without OS), and work with many languages(e.g. Swift, Java, Javascript, C#, Golang).

• ✂️Small: 5,000 lines of C++ code, could be merged into 1 header & 1 source file(GuiLite.h/GuiLite.cpp) - Easy to build & port
• ⚡Fast: Render GUI within one invoking, independent of any OS and any third party library - Make GUI run quickly and smoothly
• 💉Inject: Run inside Qt/MFC/Winform/Cocoa/Web - Keep Qt/MFC code reusable, and speed it up by local GuiLite-optimization
• ⚙️️Hardware Minimum Requirment:

🔥New feature：Inject GuiLite Samples into 3D Web

• 
• Run GuiLite Samples(HelloParticle, HelloWave) on Web and 3D scenario
• Source code

Features

Cross platform

ARM Linux	STM32 Without OS

Windows Mixed Reality	Android

macOS	iOS

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)

Gorgeous UI

Multi-language:

IoT Solution & Code Telemetry

• Report build activities to cloud:
  
• Sync running data to cloud:
  

Support Docker

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

Start with Demo

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.

• Sample code here.
