## What it is
Freya is a cross-platform, non-web, declarative GUI library for Rust powered by the Skia graphics engine. It provides built-in components, animations, rich text and code editing, routing, and charting for building native desktop applications.

## Use cases
- build a cross-platform desktop app in Rust
- create a native GUI with declarative components
- make a code editor with syntax highlighting in Rust
- add charts and data visualization to a Rust app
- build a UI with animations and transitions in Rust
- create a multi-page desktop application with routing

## When to choose
- you want a native, non-web Rust GUI with Skia rendering
- you need built-in components like calendars, sliders, and virtualized lists
- you want declarative, reactive component state similar to Dioxus

## When to avoid
- you need to target the web browser
- you require a very mature, long-stable GUI toolkit (pre-1.0, active RC releases)
- you prefer immediate-mode GUIs over declarative retained UI

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: gui, ui-components, animation, routing, state-management, templating
- domain: desktop-applications, cross-platform, web-development, graphics
- platform: rust, cross-platform, windows
- tags: skia, dioxus, declarative-ui, reactive-state, text-editing, charts, desktop, macos, linux
