## Warning

⚠️ xtd_c IS A POC AND NOT YET IN DEVELOPMENT. xtd_c IS NOT READY TO BE USED. ⚠️

## Features

* Free and open-source ([MIT License](https://github.com/gammasoft71/xtd_c/blob/main/docs/license.md));
* a collection of native C11 libraries, to **extend** C11 standard;
* API close to the [xtd](https://gammasoft71.wixsite.com/xtdpro) with a modern C11 approach and full integration with the ANSI/ISO standard;
* xtd_c is designed to manage GUI controls and dialogs in pure [native mode]() or with [CSS styles]().
* written in efficient, C11;
* and [highly portable](y) and available on [many different platforms]();

## Dependency

xtd_c is a C11 wrapper on [xtd](https://gammasoft71.wixsite.com/xtdpro) framework.
You need to [install](https://gammasoft71.wixsite.com/xtdpro/download) xtd before using xtd_c.

## xtd libraries architecture

![architecture_logo](https://github.com/gammasoft71/xtd_c/blob/main/docs/pictures/block_diagram_onion.png)

xtd_c is composed of several libraries.

### xtd_c.core

[![core](https://github.com/gammasoft71/xtd_c/blob/main/docs/pictures/xtd_c.core.png)](https://codedocs.xyz/gammasoft71/xtd_c/group__xtd__c__core.html)
The [xtd_c.core](https://codedocs.xyz/gammasoft71/xtd_c/group__xtd__c__core.html) library is C11 libraries of struct, enum, and value types that provide access to system functionality. It is the foundation on which C11 applications, components, and controls are built.

### xtd_c.drawing

[![drawing](https://github.com/gammasoft71/xtd_c/blob/main/docs/pictures/xtd_c.drawing.png)](https://codedocs.xyz/gammasoft71/xtd_c/group__xtd__c__drawing.html)
The [xtd_c.drawing](https://codedocs.xyz/gammasoft71/xtd_c/group__xtd__c__drawing.html) library contains types that support basic GDI+ graphics functionality. Child namespaces support advanced two-dimensional and vector graphics functionality, advanced imaging functionality, and print-related and typographical services. A child namespace also contains types that extend design-time user-interface logic and drawing.

### xtd_c.forms

[![forms](https://github.com/gammasoft71/xtd_c/blob/main/docs/pictures/xtd_c.forms.png)](https://codedocs.xyz/gammasoft71/xtd_c/group__xtd__c__forms.html)
The [xtd_c.forms](https://codedocs.xyz/gammasoft71/xtd_c/group__xtd__c__forms.html) library contains classes for creating Windows-based applications that take full advantage of the rich user interface features available in the Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS and linux base operating system.

### xtd_c.tunit

[![tunit](https://github.com/gammasoft71/xtd_c/blob/main/docs/pictures/xtd_c.tunit.png)](https://codedocs.xyz/gammasoft71/xtd_c/group__xtd__c__tunit.html)
The [xtd_c.tunit](https://codedocs.xyz/gammasoft71/xtd_c/group__xtd__c__tunit.html) library is a unit-testing framework for modern C11, inspired by [Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.Cpp](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/test/microsoft-visualstudio-testtools-cppunittestframework-api-reference).
