Tao is a cross-platform window creation and event loop library in Rust, forked from winit with a GTK-based Linux backend. It is the windowing layer underlying the Tauri framework and supports Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Use cases
- create native windows in rust
- cross-platform windowing for a rust app
- build a gui app with tauri
- handle window events and input across platforms
- embed a webview in a native window
- write a rust app for windows macos and linux
When to choose
- you are building a Tauri app or need its GTK-based Linux behavior
- you need a winit-like windowing library with mobile support
- you want fine-grained control over window creation and event loops in Rust
When to avoid
- you want a full GUI toolkit with widgets and layouts
- you prefer upstream winit and its backends
- you are building a web-only application
