XmlMan

XmlMan is an elegant XML-to-Rhai transpiler for Ewwii, designed to make UI definitions and data structures concise, expressive, and scriptable. It combines the readability of XML with the flexibility of Rhai scripting, giving you precise error reporting without the struggle of Ewwii's Rahi API's.

Install

XmlMan is available in the eii-manifests. So you can use eiipm to to install it:

$ eiipm i xmlman

XML Input

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</Root>

Transpiled Rhai Output

fn Banana_child() {
    button(#{ "label": `Click me` })
}

enter([
    defwindow("Banana", #{  }, Banana_child())
])
