### What's MiniGUI
MiniGUI aims to provide a fast, stable, full-featured, and cross-platform
windowing and GUI support system, which is especially fit for
embedded systems or smart IoT devices based-on Linux/uClinux, eCos, and other
traditional RTOSes, such as RT-Thread, FreeRTOS, RTEMS, VxWorks, ThreadX,
Nucleus, pSOS, uC/OS-II, OSE, and others.

MiniGUI is released under GPLv3 and the dual-licensing applies to commercial

MiniGUI under the GNU General Public License (GPL). In September 2002, the core
developers of MiniGUI founded [FMSoft](https://www.fmsoft.cn) and started the
commercial marketing with the free software. By now, FMSoft still continues to

### App Frameworks on MiniGUI
### Modern App Framework on MiniGUI
MiniGUI and its components provides a lot of controls/widgets to
help your develop GUI apps in C/C++ programming language. However,
alternatively, you can choose one of the following frameworks to
develop your apps in a easy-to-use programming language other than C/C++.
MiniGUI and its components provides a lot of controls/widgets to help your develop GUI apps in C/C++ programming language.
However, alternatively, you can use the following software to develop your apps in an easy-to-use programming language [HVML].
* [HybridOS](https://gitlab.fmsoft.cn/HybridOS/hybridos) provides
a complete software stack to develop an app which have rich functions
and excellent expressive in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
* [hiACEJS](https://gitlab.fmsoft.cn/HybridOS/hiACEJS) provides
a light-weight app framework in JavaScript.
* [HVML] is a descriptive programming language proposed and designed by [Vincent Wei].
* [PurC] is the prime interpreter of HVML written in C lauguage.
* [xGUI Pro] is a full-featured HVML renderer based on the tailored WebKit engine.
You can also choose [HybridOS Lite](https://gitlab.fmsoft.cn/HybridOS/hybridos-lite)
to develop apps with excellent expressive for cost-sensitive devices in C/C++ language.
In short, the above software provides an Electron-like solution that can help people develop cross-platform applications using web front-end technology.
The difference is that the solution replaces JavaScript with HVML and Node.JS with PurC.
It provides an entirely new application framework that isolates the interpreter and renderer from running in separate processes, which brings several benefits.
It greatly reduces the size and resource consumption of the entire solution, improves the overall performance, promotes the interactive responsiveness,
and provides a simpler mechanism to integrate existing C/C++ code modules.
### MiniGUI and HybridOS
[HybridOS](https://gitlab.fmsoft.cn/HybridOS/hybridos) is another large open source project
initiated by FMSoft. It is a totally new open source operating system designed for
embedded and smart IoT devices and cloud computing environment.
