A C++ user interface library that renders interfaces using XHTML 1.0 and CSS 2.0 standards (with selected HTML5/CSS3 features), extended for real-time applications. It is designed to be embedded in game engines and other real-time projects, with Python and Lua scripting bindings and a runtime visual debugger.

Use cases

• build game UI and HUD with html and css
• create in-game menus, dialogs, and controls in C++
• embed an HTML/CSS-based interface into a custom game engine
• style a real-time desktop application interface with CSS
• integrate Python or Lua scripting into game interface logic
• debug UI layouts visually at runtime

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained project - libRocket's website is dead and development has effectively ceased (consider the RmlUi fork)
• you need full modern HTML5/CSS3 browser behavior or web rendering
• you are building a web application rather than a native or game UI
