- GuiLite is the smallest GUI library with 5000 lines of C++ code, it runs on **all platforms**(e.g, iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, macOS, Docker and **MCU with or without OS**).
- GuiLite is embeddable, it runs inside other UI frameworks(e.g, Qt, MFC, Winform, Cocoa). You could use GuiLite features and host UI features simultaneously.
- GuiLite render UI by itself, independent of OS & Graphic library.
- GuiLite could work with many languages(e.g. Swift, Java, C#, Golang).
- 🔧We want people to customize GuiLite.
- ⚙️We hope GuiLite is small enough to help you understand how UI works.
- 👑You should be the master of your UI and not be tied to a specific framework.
## 🔥New feature：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)
- No need for drag-and-drop widgets, everything (e.g. code/design/build/debug) could be done by coding
- No need for special GUI editor(e.g. Android Studio, Qt designer)
- No need for Extensible Markup Language(e.g. xml, xaml)

## Documents
GuiLite is the smallest and simplest GUI library.
1. Just 5,000 line C++ code
2. Only use basic C++ feature(class, virtual function), no complex syntax
3. All rendering base on draw_pixel, no algorithm
4. Full documents and small live demos for reference
