Blitz is a modular HTML/CSS rendering engine written in Rust, designed to render modern HTML layout and CSS without the bloat of full browser features. It serves as the rendering core for Dioxus Native and ships with a browser UI, markdown viewer, and example apps.

Use cases

• render html and css natively in a rust app
• build cross-platform apps with dioxus native
• embed an html renderer without a full browser engine
• view markdown files with styled rendering
• render no-javascript websites like wikipedia
• build a lightweight custom browser

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, modular HTML/CSS renderer in Rust
• you are building Dioxus Native apps
• you want to render static or no-JS web content natively
• you need accessibility support via AccessKit in a custom renderer

When to avoid

• you need full browser features like websockets, webRTC, or localstorage
• you need production-grade stability - it is still in beta with bugs and missing features
• you need JavaScript bindings or language bindings other than Rust
• you need to render complex JavaScript-heavy websites
