// 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.
//!
//! ## Quick Start
//!
//! The simplest way to render an HTML template with data:
//!
//! ```c
//! char *result = webui_render("<h1>{{title}}</h1>", "{\"title\":\"Hello\"}");
//! if (result == NULL) {
//!     const char *err = webui_last_error();
//!     // handle error...
//! } else {
//!     // use result...
//!     webui_free(result);
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ## 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).
