Modern C++17/20 framework to create console (CLI), forms (GUI like WinForms) and tunit (unit tests like Microsoft Unit Testing Framework) applications on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and android (*).
(*) See portability for more information.
At each commit, a build and unit tests are performed for the following configurations :
| Operating system | Debug | Release |
|---|---|---|
| Windows (x64) | %20Debug) |
%20Release) |
| Windows (win32) | %20Debug) |
%20Release) |
| macOS |  |
 |
| Ubuntu |  |

| iOS (**) | Coming soon... | Coming soon... |
| Android (**) | Coming soon... | Coming soon... |
(**) xtd.core and xtd.tunit only.
- Free and open-source (MIT License);
- a collection of native C++ classes libraries, to complete std;
- API close to the .net API with a modern C++ approach and full integration with the std standard;
- written in efficient, modern C++17 / C++20 with RAII programming idiom;
- and highly portable and available on many different platforms;
