# guion
[Documentation](https://docs.rs/guion/0.2.0-dev1/)
guion is heavily WIP right now, API and concepts are still in flux.
Goals:
- Data is the Widget: Widgets own data or reference data as immediate widget.
- Widget Tree separate from Context, State and side-data
- Modularity: Components are defined in generics and traits
- Standard implementations can be combined with e.g. a custom ID implementation.
- Standard Widgets: Rich Set of Standard Widgets
- Ability to own or reference data (immediate widgets)
- Standard Context: with features like hover, tabulating, and drag/drop in the future...
- Layout Calculation, Invalidation, ...
Future Goals:
- Simplicity
- Right now the flexibility causes a degree of complexity
- A simple interface limited to specific contexes and backends can still be implemented
- Some complexitiy is currenty caused by language limitations
- Performance
- is not the priority right not
- although guion is designed in a manner of performance
- Rust is strong in inlining the complexity away
- (Performance should be good enough because stuff is implemented inline-friendly)
