Crate sciter

Expand description

§Rust bindings library for Sciter engine.

Sciter is an embeddable multiplatform HTML/CSS/script engine with GPU accelerated rendering designed to render modern desktop application UI. It’s a compact, single dll/dylib/so file (4-8 mb) engine without any additional dependencies.

Check the screenshot gallery of the desktop UI examples.

Sciter supports all standard elements defined in HTML5 specification with some additions. CSS is extended to better support the Desktop UI development, e.g. flow and flex units, vertical and horizontal alignment, OS theming.

Sciter SDK comes with a demo “browser” with builtin DOM inspector, script debugger and documentation viewer:

Check https://sciter.com website and its documentation resources for engine principles, architecture and more.

§Brief look:

Here is a minimal sciter app:

extern crate sciter;

fn main() {
    let mut frame = sciter::Window::new();
    frame.load_file("minimal.htm");
    frame.run_app();
}

It looks similar like this:
