PurC is the prime interpreter for HVML, a programmable markup (descriptive) programming language, implemented in C/C++. It is distributed both as an embeddable LGPLv3 C library for building your own HVML tooling and as the `purc` command-line tool for running HVML programs and apps on Linux and macOS (Windows support is in progress).
Use cases
- run HVML programs and apps from the command line
- embed an HVML interpreter in a C or C++ application
- learn and experiment with the HVML programming language
- build cross-platform apps with a programmable markup language
- process and transform data using HVML scripts
- embed scripting languages like Python inside HVML programs
When to choose
- You want to execute or evaluate HVML programs on Linux or macOS
- You need a reusable C library implementing the HVML Specification V1.0 and its predefined dynamic objects
- You want to experiment with markup-based programming as an alternative to JavaScript-centric app development
When to avoid
- You need production Windows support today, which is still on the way
- You require a 1.0-stable interpreter, as PurC is at version 0.9.x
- You are looking for an HTML rendering engine or web browser toolkit rather than an HVML interpreter
