xilem
An experimental Rust architecture for reactive UI, providing a high-level framework and foundational toolkit for native GUI apps.
What is xilem?
Xilem is an experimental reactive UI framework for Rust that enables developers to build native GUI applications using a declarative, React-inspired architecture. It provides a high-level abstraction over lower-level graphics and windowing systems, allowing UI components to update automatically when underlying data changes. The framework is designed to make Rust GUI development more productive while maintaining performance and native integration.
Rust developers building cross-platform desktop or web GUI applications who want a modern, reactive UI paradigm similar to React or SwiftUI. It's also suitable for those interested in contributing to or experimenting with next-generation Rust UI frameworks.
Xilem offers a unique blend of Rust's performance and safety with a reactive, declarative UI model, reducing boilerplate and state management complexity. Its dual backend support (native and web) and built-in accessibility integration make it a compelling choice for developers seeking a modern, native GUI framework in Rust.
