## Uno Platform and Uno Platform Studio for The Most Productive C# / XAML Dev Loop
### Uno Platform (Core Framework)
The free and open-source (Apache 2.0) foundation for building cross-platform .NET applications. It includes the UI framework, platform heads, and a rich set of developer experience enhancements.
#### 🌐 Cross-Platform Support
Develop fully native applications for a wide range of platforms from a single codebase.
* **Mobile (iOS & Android)**: Build native, pixel-perfect UIs with C# and XAML.
* **Web (WebAssembly)**: Reuse existing C# and XAML skills to build fast web applications.
* **Desktop (Windows, macOS & Linux)**: Uno Platform uses **Skia** for rendering across all desktop platforms, ensuring high-performance, hardware-accelerated graphics and animations. On Windows, Skia runs within a Win32 shell, on macOS within an AppKit shell (Metal when available), and on Linux within an X11 shell or directly to the Framebuffer for embedded scenarios.
#### 🛠️ Toolkit & Extensions
* **UI Controls**: Access [hundreds of UI components from WinUI](https://aka.platform.uno/using-uno-ui), [Windows Community Toolkit](https://aka.platform.uno/install-uno-community-toolkit), [Uno Toolkit](https://aka.platform.uno/uno-toolkit), [third-party vendors](https://aka.platform.uno/supported-libraries), and even .NET [MAUI controls](https://aka.platform.uno/maui-embedding).
* **Theming**: Easily theme your app with [Material, Fluent, or Cupertino styles](https://aka.platform.uno/uno-themes) using minimal code.
* **State Management**: Choose between the familiar MVVM pattern or the modern [MVUX](https://aka.platform.uno/mvux) approach for declarative and scalable state management.
* **Extensions**: Utilize [ready-to-use libraries](https://aka.platform.uno/uno-extensions) for common functionalities like navigation, logging, and dependency injection.
* **Non-UI Cross-Platform APIs**: Access a [comprehensive set of APIs](https://aka.platform.uno/using-uno-ui) to interact with native device features such as sensors and secure storage.
### Uno Platform Studio
An optional premium toolkit that integrates with Visual Studio, VS Code, and JetBrains Rider to offer an unparalleled development loop.
* **[Hot Design](https://aka.platform.uno/hot-design)**: A next-generation visual designer that transforms your live app into a design surface with a single click.
* **[Hot Reload](https://aka.platform.uno/hot-reload)**: Instantly modify XAML and C# on a running app, allowing for rapid iteration without losing the app's state.
* **[Design-to-Code](https://aka.platform.uno/Design-to-Code)**: Export Figma designs to clean, responsive XAML or C# markup in seconds.

## 🚀 Quick Start
Get your development environment ready and create your first app in minutes.
1. **Check Your Environment**: Use our Uno.Check command-line tool to automatically check, install, and configure all required workloads and dependencies.
2. **Create Your App**: Use the Template Wizard in your IDE or the command line to quickly create and configure new Uno Platform projects with the appropriate settings for your target platforms.
3. **Build and Run**
➡️ For detailed guides, visit the **[Official Uno Platform Documentation](https://aka.platform.uno/get-started)** on how to get started with Uno Platform.

## 🛠️ How It Works
Uno Platform unifies cross-platform development by abstracting platform-specific implementations behind the WinUI 3 API surface.
1. **Develop**: You write your application in a single project using C# and XAML (or C# Markup) within your preferred environment (Visual Studio, JetBrains Rider, Visual Studio Code) on Windows, macOS, or Linux.
2. **Render**: Uno Platform renders your UI using one of two methods:
* **Unified Skia Rendering**: A Skia-based engine draws your UI on a canvas, ensuring consistent performance, smooth animations, and pixel-perfect visuals across all targets.
* **Native Rendering**: The XAML UI is translated into native platform controls (e.g., UIKit on iOS), providing a platform-native look and feel when desired.
3. **Deploy**: The build process generates a native application package for each target platform from the single codebase.
