# AWTK = Toolkit AnyWhere
|
||
|
||
> [中文用户请看这里](README_zh.md)
|
||
|
||
## I. Introduction
|
||
|
||
[AWTK](README.md) , the abbreviation of Toolkit AnyWhere, is an open source GUI engine developed by [ZLG](http://www.zlg.cn/). It is a cross-platform GUI engine for embedded systems, WEB, mini programs, mobile phones and PC. It is a powerful, efficient, reliable and easy-to-use GUI engine for users to design beautiful GUI applications.
|
||
|
||
> Welcome developers to join us in our development:[Joint Ecology Building Plan](docs/awtk_ecology.md)
|
||
|
||
#### [AWTK](README.md) has two implications as follows:
|
||
|
||
* Toolkit AnyWhere.
|
||
* As the built-in GUI of AWorksOS, which is the ZLG IoT operating system.
|
||
|
||
#### [AWTK](README.md) source code repositories:
|
||
|
||
* Main source code repository: [https://github.com/zlgopen/awtk](https://github.com/zlgopen/awtk)
|
||
* Mirrored source code repository：[https://gitee.com/zlgopen/awtk](https://gitee.com/zlgopen/awtk)
|
||
* Stable version pack: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1_oRgj67M-I4kivk-YzwFWA Access code:1cmi
|
||
|
||
#### AWTK Designer - the UI design tool:
|
||
|
||
* It is no longer necessary to write XML by yourself.
|
||
* Design the UI by dragging and dropping. What you see is what you get.
|
||
* Support quick preview and pack resources with one-click.
|
||
* Registration and download: https://awtk.zlg.cn

## III. Main Features
|
||
|
||
### 1. Cross-platform
|
||
|
||
[AWTK](README.md) is a cross-platform GUI engine , which has two meanings as follows:
|
||
|
||
* AWTK's code is cross-platform. At present, it is compatible with platforms such as ZLG AWorksOS, Windows, Linux, MacOS, embedded Linux, Android, iOS, Web and embedded raw systems. It can be easily ported to variety of different RTOS. In the future, AWTK can be also run as mini programs.
|
||
|
||
* In addition, AWTK has a cross-platform library of basic tools, which includes lists, arrays, strings (UTF8 and widechar), event emitters, values, objects, file system, mutex, threads, formulas and string analysis, in order that the applications you develop with AWTK can really run across platforms.
|
||
|
||
### 2. Efficient
|
||
|
||
[AWTK](README.md) ensure efficiency through the following operations:
|
||
|
||
* Update changed parts using dirty rectangles algorithms.
|
||
* Support 3 FrameBuffer to make the UI run at the highest frame rate (optional).
|
||
* UI description files and theme files are stored in efficient binary formats, in order that they can be analyzed more fast.
|
||
* Support different GPU acceleration interfaces, including OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan and Metal and so on.
|
||
* Support 2D acceleration interfaces of embedded platforms, such as NXP's PXP interfaces and STM32's DMA2D interfaces, user can easy to adapt to other acceleration interfaces.
|
||
|
||
### 3. Stable
|
||
|
||
[AWTK](README.md) makes codes as stable and reliable as possible in following ways:
|
||
|
||
* Perform static checks using cppcheck and facebook infer.
|
||
* Dynamically check memory with valgrind.
|
||
* With approximately 20,000 lines of codes for unit testing.
|
||
* With support from the powerful GUI team of ZLG.
|
||
* Has been validated in multiple practical projects.
|
||
* Has been validated by multiple platforms and compilers.
|
||
* With excellent architecture design.
|
||
* Code Review.
|
||
* Manual test.
|
||
|
||
### 4. Powerful

||
### 7. Multiple Development Languages
|
||
|
||
[AWTK](README.md) is been developed in the C Program Language. Scripts in different languages can be generated by the IDL. The binding code generated not only simply mapping the C API to the target script language, but also with the native code styles of the target script language. At present, following languages are supported (More languages will be added):
|
||
|
||
* C
|
||
* Go
|
||
* C++
|
||
* lua
|
||
* java
|
||
* python
|
||
* Javascript on jerryscript
|
||
* Javascript on nodejs
|
||
* Javascript on quickjs
|
||
|
||
### 8. Internationalization
|
||
|
||
* Support Unicode.
|
||
* Support input methods.
|
||
* Support translate strings.
|
||
* Support translate images.
|
||
* Support text bidirectional algorithms.
|
||
|
||
### 9. The MVVM framework for embedded software thoroughly separate user interfaces from business logic
|
||
|
||
* High performances.
|
||
* Low memory usage.
|
||
* More thorough isolation.
|

|
||
* Less codes (~5,000 lines).
|
||
* No need for learning API of AWTK.
|
||
* Support multiple programming languages (support C/JS at present).
