libvaxis is a modern terminal user interface (TUI) library written in Zig that detects terminal capabilities via queries instead of terminfo. It offers both a low-level cell-control API and a high-level Flutter-like widget framework (vxfw) with support for modern terminal protocols like Kitty keyboard, images, and synchronized output.
Use cases
- build a tui app in zig
- render images in the terminal with kitty graphics protocol
- create a text ui with widgets and an event loop
- write a cross-platform terminal application
- use modern terminal features like hyperlinks and bracketed paste
- build a flutter-style tui framework app
When to choose
- you are writing a TUI application in Zig
- you need modern terminal protocol support (Kitty keyboard, graphics, OSC 8 hyperlinks) without terminfo
- you want both low-level cell control and a higher-level widget framework
- you need cross-platform support including Windows
When to avoid
- you are not using Zig
- you need a mature ecosystem with many third-party widgets and examples
- you need terminfo-based compatibility with very old terminals
