iocraft is a library for crafting beautiful text output and interfaces for the terminal or logs. It allows you to easily build complex layouts and interactive elements using a declarative API.
iocraft was inspired by Dioxus and Ink.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Define your UI using a clean, highly readable syntax.
