elements
A lightweight, modular, and embeddable C++20 GUI library with a declarative DSEL interface for building resolution-independent interfaces.
What is elements?
Elements is a C++ GUI library that provides a declarative, resolution-independent interface for building lightweight and modular user interfaces. It solves the problem of creating embeddable, fine-grained GUIs without relying on external tools or code generators, using a Domain Specific Embedded Language (DSEL) syntax written entirely in C++. The library is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing applications, including audio plugins like VST and AU.
C++ developers building desktop applications, audio plugins, or embedded systems who need a lightweight, modular GUI library that can coexist with other frameworks. It is particularly suited for audio software developers creating VST or AU plugins.
Developers choose Elements for its embeddable design, declarative C++-based GUI construction, and resolution independence, offering a flexible alternative to heavier GUI frameworks without sacrificing modularity or integration capabilities.
