Gtkaml is an markup language that reuses the Vala compiler to write
Gtk+ widgets through casual XML markup.
<HBox homogeneous="false">
<Label label="_Hello" with-mnemonic="true" expand="false" fill="false"/>
<Entry g:public="my_entry" text="World! "/>
</HBox>
Features:
* compact XML syntax for describing Gtk widgets
* code 'islands' (written in Vala) - for signal handling and other
code in your widget class (so you don't modify
the generated code ever)
* doesn't depend on an external library at run-time (other than Gtk+)
* much more readable than the usual UI boilerplate (e.g. you don't
need to worry about temporary variables, or ever write hundreds of
lines of code/markup)
* no Gtk+ magic - gtkaml can be used for any component/widget
library, given that the composition methods are specified in the
*.implicits file
Changes in 0.2.8:
- based on vala compiler 0.7.6
- added more examples in 'examples/vala' (based on Vala Gtk+
examples) and the Examples wiki page [1]
- fixes:
#7 "Container.add instead of add_with_parameters"
#19 "existing vbox missing spacing"
Gtkaml 0.2.x is currently in maintainence mode. Only releases to sync
with Vala are made, and bugs may be fixed if they don't require
re-architecturing.
Gtkaml 0.4 is in prototyping phase. Changes include re-using Vala's
parser for expressions and Vala symbol resolver as much as possible,
opening the oportunity to data binding based on 'notify' signal.
