## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
