libRUIN (Renderer for User Interfaces in Ncurses) is a rendering library for
|
|
various XML-based user interface markup languages (such as XHTML or Mozilla
|
|
XUL), using the Ncurses terminal control library as a rendering target.
|
|
GNU Guile and the SDOM Scheme module are used as the "glue" that manages user
|
|
input and event handling (as such, event handlers must currently be written
|
|
in Guile Scheme; support for ECMAscript event handlers is being considered
|
|
for inclusion). An application programmer passes an XML document (including,
|
|
potentially, a set of CSS stylesheets) and an Ncurses WINDOW structure, and
|
|
libRUIN paints the WINDOW according to the markup and CSS; the programmer may
|
|
subsequently pass Ncurses-style input strings to that WINDOW via libRUIN, and
|
|
libRUIN will handle the resulting event flows.
