SharpVk
C#/.NET bindings for the Vulkan graphics API and SPIR-V shader generation.
What is SharpVk?
SharpVk is a set of C#/.NET bindings for the Vulkan graphics and compute API, allowing .NET developers to create high-performance 3D graphics, compute, and VR applications. It provides type-safe access to Vulkan's low-level functionality and includes tools for SPIR-V shader generation. The project solves the problem of accessing modern GPU APIs from managed .NET code.
.NET developers building graphics-intensive applications such as games, scientific visualization tools, or VR experiences who need direct access to Vulkan's performance capabilities.
Developers choose SharpVk because it provides the most comprehensive and idiomatic C# interface to Vulkan, with additional tools like Shanq for type-safe shader generation, all distributed as easy-to-use NuGet packages.
