https://github.com/lynx-family/lynxAn open-source framework for building high-performance, native UIs for mobile and web using CSS and React. It features a multithreaded engine and four layout systems: Linear, Flex, Grid, and Relative. The ecosystem includes LynxBase for core utilities (logging, threading, and string manipulation) and lynx-trace for performance instrumentation based on Perfetto.
Lynx is an open-source technology family that allows developers to use web skills (CSS and React) to create native UIs for mobile (Android, iOS) and web from a single codebase. It features a multithreaded engine designed for high performance and silky UI responsiveness.
This specific repository contains the core engine of Lynx. For other related packages, visit the Lynx organization homepage.
Lynx Explorer is the official application for testing and exploring the Lynx framework. It serves as a runtime environment composed of two main parts:
You can use Lynx Explorer to test your own Lynx screens or explore built-in features via the showcase screen.
Clay is a high-performance, multi-platform consistent rendering runtime built upon the Flutter engine. It is designed for cross-platform scenarios requiring high performance and easy integration.
Key features include:
The //lynx/base library provides core utility functions and components designed to reduce repetitive work and facilitate maintenance within the Lynx project. Its primary capabilities include:
LOGV through LOGE) via include/log/logging.h. Supports log output, filtering, formatting, and customizable output channels. It also includes a lightweight log stream class for efficiency.unicode32, unicode16, and unicode8 formats.lynx-trace, an independent and shareable instrumentation tool.LynxBase is a foundational library providing core utilities used across the Lynx ecosystem. It includes the following essential modules:
message_loop: For handling event loops.log: Logging utilities.thread: Thread management tools.string: String manipulation functions.value: Value helpers.RapidJSON provides several ways to interact with JSON data:
Value objects. Best for when you need to navigate and modify the structure easily.Reader) and generator (using Writer). It is extremely lightweight (the SAX parser is ~500 lines) and memory-efficient, ideal for high-performance streaming.Key Characteristics:
lynx-trace is an instrumentation tool designed to implement Android and Darwin (iOS and macOS) APIs based on Perfetto. It solves the issue of Perfetto's heavy use of static variables—which prevents multiple dynamic libraries from sharing a single copy of the code—by encapsulating those variables and APIs within a single module.
Developers can use lynx-trace to record performance instrumentation data without manually handling Perfetto's initialization or configuration. It provides platform-specific interfaces for tracing and allows for switching the backend to the Android system trace tool.
pyjson5 is a Python implementation of the JSON5 data format. JSON5 extends the standard JSON format to make it more suitable for configuration files by allowing:
//) and multi-line (/* ... */) JavaScript-style comments.The library provides both a reader and a writer for Python and attempts to mirror the standard Python json module API for familiarity.
LynxDevtool is a debugging and inspection module designed for Lynx applications running on the Harmony platform. It provides several key features for developers:
RTF is a testing management framework designed to simplify testing configuration and enable quick integration for new projects. It provides a centralized way to manage test cases via template files, allowing users to focus on templates rather than underlying testing tool operations.
Key features include:
options object.The url_parse module provides URL parsing capabilities. It is based on the Chromium implementation found in //url/third_party/mozilla, with slight modifications tailored for the Lynx use case.
Key components:
url_parse.{h,cc}: The primary public interface for URL parsing.url_parse_internal.{h,cc}: Contains internal helper functions required by the main url_parse files that are not exposed directly to end-users.The Lynx Log Service is a logging mechanism specifically designed for Lynx applications running on the HarmonyOS platform. It implements the ILynxLogService interface and acts as a bridge to the native HarmonyOS hilog module.
It supports the following standard log levels:
VERBOSEDEBUGINFOWARNERRORThe service is exposed as a singleton instance named LynxLogService and is primarily used by the Lynx framework to enable logging capabilities on HarmonyOS.
