- Supported 3rd party libraries: Qt, MFC, Winforms, CoCoa...
## Hero features
- ☁️Cloud + IoT Solution: master your IoT business all over the world
- 🔣Multi-language, supports UTF-8;📀Playback Video
- 🔨[Toolkit](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteToolkit) for building font/image resources
- 📐[Layout GUI WYSIWYG](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLitePreviewer)
- 📊Code Telemetry and Analysis in real time
- 📦Supports 3D and [Web](https://github.com/idea4good/GuiLiteWeb)
- 🐋Run in docker with a single command: `sudo docker run -it --privileged -v /dev:/dev-share idea4good/gui-lite:latest bash /run.sh`
## Easy to learn and support
Even a C beginner could master GUI-lite quickly. The source code only uses basic C++ features (class, virtual function). We chose C++ as it could make the code size significantly smaller and easier to read.
