## What it is
Vizia is a declarative, reactive desktop GUI framework for Rust, letting developers build cross-platform applications in pure Rust without DSL macros. It features state-driven views, CSS styling with hot-reloading, animations, built-in views and themes, and accessibility support.

## Use cases
- build a desktop app in rust
- declarative gui framework for rust
- cross-platform ui toolkit for windows mac and linux
- reactive ui with state binding in rust
- style rust desktop apps with css
- accessible desktop application in rust

## When to choose
- you want to write desktop GUIs in pure Rust with a declarative, reactive model
- you need consistent look and behavior across Windows, macOS, and Linux
- you want CSS-based styling with hot reloading and built-in themes/icons

## When to avoid
- you need a mobile or web UI rather than a desktop application
- you require the maturity and ecosystem of established toolkits like GTK or Qt
- you need a very small binary footprint, since Skia-based rendering is heavyweight

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: active
- function: gui, ui-components, css-framework, state-management, animation, templating
- domain: desktop-applications, web-development, cross-platform, graphics
- platform: rust, windows, cross-platform
- tags: declarative-ui, reactive, skia, stylesheet-hot-reloading, accessibility, desktop-gui-toolkit, linux, macos, desktop
