A cross-platform native backend for Haxe projects, enabling deployment to iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux.
NME (Native Media Engine) is a cross-platform native backend for Haxe projects that compiles Haxe code into native applications for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. It solves the problem of building and deploying applications across multiple platforms by providing a unified backend that abstracts platform-specific details, allowing developers to focus on writing code in Haxe.
Haxe developers looking to build and deploy native applications across multiple platforms, including mobile (iOS, Android) and desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux), particularly those in game development or cross-platform app development.
Developers choose NME for its proven reliability in cross-platform native deployment, support for multiple build targets (e.g., cpp, android), and extensive sample projects that facilitate learning and rapid development without platform lock-in.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Compiles Haxe code to native applications for iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux, enabling write-once-deploy-everywhere without sacrificing native performance, as described in the key features.
Supports cpp, cppia, jsprime, neko, and android backends, providing flexibility for different deployment needs, such as testing with cppia or production builds with cpp.
Includes a variety of sample projects with Haxe sources and configuration files, making it easier for developers to learn and reference, as highlighted in the README's sample projects section.
Allows building APKs for all architectures or only for the running device's architecture, streamlining testing and reducing build times, as specified in the Android optimization feature.
Locked into the Haxe ecosystem, which has a smaller community and fewer resources compared to mainstream languages, limiting appeal for teams not already invested in Haxe.
Requires multiple installation steps including Haxe, hxcpp, submodule updates, and platform-specific tools like XCode for iOS, making initial configuration more involved than plug-and-play frameworks.
Focuses on backend and compilation, so developers must handle UI separately or integrate additional libraries, increasing development overhead for rich interfaces.
