Dioxus

Dioxus is an elegant GUI library for Rust, drawing inspiration from React and designed to support a wide range of platforms including Web, Desktop, Server-Side Rendering (SSR), Liveview, and Mobile. It allows developers to build fast, beautiful, and fully-featured applications with a single codebase that runs seamlessly across multiple environments. The library emphasizes a developer-friendly experience with a familiar, React-like syntax for creating components and managing state.

Dioxus integrates tightly with Rust's async capabilities, enabling the incorporation of asynchronous operations within UI components. It also supports server functions, allowing server-side code to be invoked as regular async functions from the client side. Global state management is simplified through an Atom-based API, facilitating the creation and manipulation of global state across the application.

For web development, Dioxus leverages Rust and WebAssembly (WASM) to deliver performance comparable to SolidJS and greater robustness than React, with integrated hot reloading for rapid development cycles. On the desktop and mobile fronts, Dioxus offers lightweight applications with zero configuration, supporting WebView and WGPU-enabled renderers across macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android. Additionally, it enables the transformation of CLI tools into interactive terminal user interfaces with minimal code.

Dioxus excels in building fullstack applications, providing capabilities for server pre-rendering and client-side hydration, which results in excellent performance and perfect Lighthouse scores. It supports LiveView, allowing the entire app to be rendered on the server with zero backend configuration, capable of handling thousands of active clients.

The library is backed by a vibrant and active community, contributing to its continuous improvement and expansion. Dioxus is used in various feature-packed examples such as a TodoMVC web application, a desktop file explorer, a documentation site pre-rendered with SSR, and a web performance benchmark. With its comprehensive functionality and strong community support, Dioxus stands out as a powerful tool for Rust developers aiming to create cross-platform applications.
