// FFI crate requires unsafe for C-compatible ABI boundary.
#![allow(unsafe_code)]

//! WebUI FFI (Foreign Function Interface) for interoperability with other languages.
//!
//! This crate provides C-compatible APIs for the WebUI handler to be used from languages
//! like Go, C#, Python, etc.
//!
//! Load a compiled protocol once with [`webui_protocol_create`], then reuse the
//! handle with [`webui_handler_render`] and the other protocol operations.
//!
//! ## Error Handling
//!
//! All functions that can fail return `NULL` on error. Call [`webui_last_error`] to
//! retrieve a human-readable error message. The error string is valid until the next
//! FFI call on the same thread (follows the POSIX `dlerror()` pattern).
