High level rust bindings for [Ultralight]. Alternative for the abandoned [`rust-ul`].

[Ultralight] is a lightweight, high-performance HTML rendering engine designed for applications that require a high degree of customization. Using GPU-accelerated HTML rendering, it's a great fit for rendering user interfaces in games, and other applications.

Tested on Windows and Linux.

> The API currently resembles the original C++ API for simplicity, and probably it will be changed to be more `rust` idiomatic.

> Though it shouldn't affect older versions because of [`semver`](https://semver.org/).

>

> See the [CHANGELOG](./CHANGELOG.md) for more information.

## Other bindings

| Name | Status | Description |

| ---- | ------ | ----------- |

| [`rust-ul`] | Abandoned | Low level bindings for Ultralight. |

| [`ultralight`] | Active | Opinionated Rust bindings for Ultralight. |

## Extra files

You need to include `resources` folder in the execution directory.

You can find the resources folder in the [Ultralight SDK]

## Examples

To see how this library is used, please check the examples in the [`examples`](./examples/) directory.

```sh

cargo run --example=basic_app

```

> For now, must be run from the root of the project, as it needs to find the `resources` folder in the `examples` directory.

## Deployment

The samples compiled rely on dynamic libraries provided by `Ultralight`:

- `libUltralightCore.so`/`UltralightCore.dll`

- `libUltralight.so`/`Ultralight.dll`

- `libWebCore.so`/`WebCore.dll`

- `libAppCore.so`/`AppCore.dll`

These can be downloaded from the [Ultralight SDK].

> Rust will download them during build as well, but are kept inside the `target` directory.
