xtd is a modern C++20 open-source framework for building console (CLI), forms-based GUI, and unit test applications and libraries across many platforms. Its API is modeled on .NET and includes xtd.core, xtd.drawing, xtd.forms, and xtd.tunit libraries.

Use cases

build cross-platform desktop gui apps in c++
create console cli applications in modern c++
write unit tests in c++ with an xunit-style framework
port a winforms-style application to linux and macos
style native c++ gui controls with css
draw 2d graphics and images in a c++ app

When to choose

you want a .NET-like API in native C++20
you need one codebase for GUI apps across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android
you prefer RAII and full std integration over raw C-style toolkits

When to avoid

you need a battle-tested production framework - xtd is still in beta (pre-1.0)
you are building web or mobile-first apps with modern UI toolkits
you need a minimal dependency-free library rather than a large framework
