microui is a tiny, portable immediate-mode UI library written in around 1100 sloc of ANSI C. It works within a fixed-size memory region and requires the user to provide input handling and rendering, drawing only rectangles and text commands.
Use cases
- add debug UI overlays to a game or graphics demo
- build a lightweight immediate-mode GUI in C
- embed a small UI in an embedded or fixed-memory application
- prototype tool windows with buttons, sliders, and textboxes
- render UI with any custom renderer that can draw rectangles and text
When to choose
- you need a minimal, dependency-free UI library in C
- you have your own rendering system and just need UI logic
- memory footprint and simplicity matter more than rich widgets
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured retained-mode GUI toolkit
- you want built-in rendering, fonts, or theming out of the box
- you need complex controls like tables, trees, or docking
