microsoft-webui-ffi

C-compatible FFI boundary for the WebUI framework. Exposes the WebUI renderer to any host language via a stable C ABI.

Overview

microsoft-webui-ffi compiles to a cdylib (libwebui_ffi.so / webui_ffi.dll / libwebui_ffi.dylib) that host language bindings (e.g. .NET, Node.js) load at runtime. The generated C header (webui_ffi.h) describes the full public API.

Production hosts should call webui_protocol_create once when loading protocol.bin, then pass that handle to the render, partial, component-template, and token functions. This avoids protobuf decoding and deterministic index construction on every request. Release the shared handle with webui_protocol_destroy.
