The goal of the project is simple, to provide a fast and predictable layout engine.

> [!WARNING]
> Axes is still a work in progress. The API may change.

## What is Axes?

Axes implements a custom layout model. It is **not** a CSS Flexbox/Grid engine.

If you need CSS compatibility, you should probably use Taffy instead.  
But if you need a lightweight and fast layout engine that you can embed into your own engine, Axes might be a better fit.

## Comparison

Axes was benchmarked against Taffy 0.9.2 from crates.io.

Benchmark results can be found in [`benches/results.md`](https://github.com/dest-hq/Axes/blob/main/benches/results.md).

In these benchmarks, Axes performs faster in all tested cases (Approximately 2x faster than Taffy).

Taffy supports significantly more layout features and full CSS-like behavior, which affects performance characteristics. Axes focuses on a smaller, custom layout model.
