## Introduction
GuiLite is the smallest GUI library with 5000 lines of code, could run on **all platforms**(e.g, iOS/macOS/WathOS, Android, Linux, Windows, Docker and MCU without OS), and work with **many languages**(e.g. Swift, Java, Javascript, C#, Golang).
- ✂️Small: 5,000 lines of C++ code, could be merged into 1 header & 1 source file(GuiLite.h/GuiLite.cpp) - Easy to [build & port](documents/HowToBuild.md)
- ⚡Fast: Render GUI within one invoking, independent of any OS and any third party library -  Make GUI run quickly and smoothly
- 💉Inject: Run inside Qt/MFC/Winform/Cocoa/Web - Keep Qt/MFC code reusable, and speed it up by local GuiLite-optimization
- ⚙️️Hardware Minimum Requirment:

| Processor | Disk/ROM space | Memory |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 24 MHZ | 29 KB | 9 KB |

## 🔥New feature：Apple Watch
Run GuiLite both on MCU and Apple Watch:

### 🔍GuiLite previewer(WYSIWYG extension for GuiLite)
[GuiLite Previewer](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLitePreviewer) is a Visual Studio Code extension, could extract GUI information from C++ code and preview GUI at preview page(What you see is what you get)

### 🌐IoT Solution & 📊Code Telemetry
- Report build activities to cloud:<br>![BuildInfo](documents/BuildInfo.png)
- Sync running data to cloud:<br>![DataOnCloud](documents/data_on_cloud.png)
- ⚠️To stop telemetry, remove script files(e,g: sync_build.bat .sync.sh .sync_build.sh)
***
### 🐋Support Docker
We build GuiLite demo as docker image, you can update/deploy/run the latest GuiLite demo on your device with single command below:
- `sudo docker run -it --privileged -v /dev:/dev-share idea4good/gui-lite:latest bash /run.sh`
***
## 📦3D
- ![GuiLiteGraphic](documents/GuiLite3D.gif) ![Hello3D](documents/Hello3D.gif)
- Run GuiLite Samples[(HelloParticle, HelloWave)](https://gitee.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples) on Web and 3D scenario, [source code here](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteWeb/blob/master/CubeEx/main.js)
- Run GuiLite-Sample-Hello3D on MCU and Windows/Linux/Qt platform
***
## 🚀Quick Launch
GuiLite is only a framework, could not create UI by itself. In order to show how to build UI App with it, We provide some samples for you.
- Sample code [here](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteSamples)
