Blueprint helps you build user interfaces in GTK quickly and declaratively.
|
|
It has modern IDE features like code completion and hover documentation, and
|
|
the compiler points out mistakes early on so you can focus on making your app
|
|
look amazing.

Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- **Easy setup.** A porting tool is available to help port your projects from
|
|
XML. The compiler's only dependency is Python, and it can be included as
|
|
a meson subproject. :doc:`See the Setup page for more information. <setup>`
|
|
- **Concise syntax.** No more clumsy XML! Blueprint is designed from the ground
|
|
up to match GTK's widget model, including templates, child types, signal
|
|
handlers, and menus.
|
|
- **Easy to learn.** The syntax should be very familiar to most people. Scroll
|
|
through the :doc:`examples page <examples>` for a quick overview of the whole
|
|
language.
|
|
- **Modern tooling.** IDE integration for `GNOME Builder <https://developer.gnome.org/documentation/introduction/builder.html>`_
|
|
is in progress, and a VS Code extension is also planned.
