An ultra-thin, high-performance CLR library for Win32 native interop with zero GC allocations during window messages.
What is WinApi?
WinApi is an ultra-thin, high-performance CLR library for Win32 native interop, providing direct wrappers for Windows APIs. It enables developers to build native Windows applications, games, and custom GUI toolkits without the overhead of frameworks like WinForms or WPF, while fully supporting CoreCLR and modern .NET.
C# developers building high-performance native Windows applications, games, or custom GUI toolkits who need direct Win32 interop without GC overhead.
Developers choose WinApi for its zero GC allocations during window messages, hand-written API correctness, and flexibility to work with multiple graphics backends like DirectX, OpenGL, and Skia, all while maintaining idiomatic C# style.
