What is Avalonia?
Avalonia is a powerful framework that enables developers to create cross-platform applications using. NET. It uses its own rendering engine to draw UI controls, ensuring a consistent look and behavior across different platforms such as Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS and WebAssembly. This means developers can share their UI code and maintain a uniform look and feel across different target platforms.
The leniency and convenience of the MIT protocol
The MIT License is a concise and loose open source software licensing agreement. It allows users to freely use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense and/or sell copies of software. Users must include copyright and license notices in the software and all copies of the software. The MIT protocol has few restrictions on users and basically gives users great freedom. It is suitable for various open source projects, encourages the sharing and reuse of code, and promotes the rapid development of software technology.
Dotnet and Avalonia are both MIT protocols, and the relevant code addresses are:
- Dotnet：https://github.com/microsoft/dotnet
- Avalonia：https://github.com/AvaloniaUI/Avalonia
Semi.Avalonia and Ursa.Avalonia
(1) Semi.Avalonia -Realization of the Charm of Thematic Style
Semi.Avalonia, this is a subtle presentation of the Semi Design theme style under the Avalonia UI framework open source under the MIT protocol. It brings a unique visual style to the application, like a beautiful picture, adding rich color and texture to the user interface.
Its warehouse address is: github.com/irihitech/Semi.Avalonia
(2) Ursa.Avalonia -The innovative power of custom controls
Coupled with the Ursa.Avalonia custom control library, which also follows the MIT protocol, it is even more powerful. Together, they create a new visual and functional experience for developers, as if opening a door to infinite possibilities on the development journey.

Performance in the field of Xinchuang and domestic operating systems
It is worth mentioning that these two libraries have performed well in the fields of Xinchuang and domestic operating systems, and have completed compatibility and mutual certification with Loongson 3A6000 and LoongArch™. This is an important achievement in the advancement of autonomous controllability and localized technologies.
