guion

guion is an experimental GUI framework, focused on flexibility (e.g. guion core flexible Widget model) and modularity (e.g. separate backend/engine, interchangeable standard components).

guion being in an experimental state, API and concepts are still in flux.

Goals:

• Data-oriented: Widgets abstract over model, can be directly implemented onto model, or be immediate
• Widgets own model/data or reference model/data as immediate widget
• Dynamic separate Context/states
• Widget Tree/Model separate from Context, State and side-data
• Modularity
  • Separation of core, backend, and higher features
  • Components are defined in generics and traits
  • Standard implementations can be combined with e.g. a custom ID implementation.
• guion-widgets Standard Widgets: common widgets, layouting widgets, etc.
  • Can own or reference data immediate, Widget state in model or Context
• guion-std Standard Window features like focused/hovered widgets, tabulating, drag/drop
• Widget Data caching/invalidation abstractions
• Tame complexity, provide efficient abstractions to make life easier
