Fejix is a cross-platform system abstraction layer for GUI. This library is intended to be used as a base for GUI frameworks, game engines, emulators, and other kinds of tools that draw their UI themselves, i.e. not using a native system framework.
Features:
- provides windows and input, much like winit or SDL, and also other UI stuff like popups, status icons, notifications, etc.
- does not provide a runtime (i.e. program entrypoint, event loop, timers, threads, background jobs, etc.) or any form of graphics rendering — build your own!
- supports advanced features like layer composition offloading, multi-threaded rendering (only rendering! windows and input are inherently single-threaded on most systems), energy-efficient partial updates, client-side decorations, distinguishing multiple input devices and device groups, etc.
- single static/shared library, zero or few dependencies (varies depending on the system), simple C99 API that is easy to write bindings for
Implementation features:
- lots of build flags that let you specify only features you need
- lets you choose the backend to use at runtime
- lets you query support for every feature of the host system at runtime
This project is in its earliest stage of development.
