A programmatically generated thin C API wrapper around Dear ImGui, the C++ immediate mode GUI library. It enables using Dear ImGui from any language that can interface with C, and also emits Lua definition files to assist in creating bindings.
Use cases
- use dear imgui from c or other languages via a c api
- create language bindings for imgui
- build debug tools and editor uis for games
- wrap imgui functions for ffi like luajit or d
- compile imgui as a static c library
When to choose
- you need Dear ImGui from a non-C++ language that can call C
- you want auto-generated bindings that track upstream imgui versions
- you need Lua definition files for generating your own bindings
When to avoid
- you are writing C++ and can use Dear ImGui directly
- you need imgui backends, which are not wrapped here
- you need a high-level retained-mode GUI toolkit
