**Xaml Behaviors** is a port of [Windows UWP](https://github.com/Microsoft/XamlBehaviors) version of XAML Behaviors for [Avalonia](https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia) XAML.

XAML Behaviors for Avalonia is an easy-to-use means of adding common and reusable interactivity to your [Avalonia](https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia) applications with minimal code. Avalonia port is available only for managed applications. Use of XAML Behaviors is governed by the MIT License.

In addition to the classic reflection-based behaviors from WPF/UWP, this port adds **source generators** that create strongly typed actions and triggers. They remove runtime reflection, improve AOT/linker friendliness, and surface diagnostics at compile time.

See the [AOT-friendly behaviors docs](docfx/articles/source-generators/index.md) for examples and guidance.
