webview

webview/webview · ★ 14.3K

A tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++: you build the GUI in HTML/JS and it renders it with the platform's native engine — WebKit on macOS (Cocoa) and Linux (GTK), Edge WebView2 on Windows. It supports two-way JavaScript bindings, so C/C++ and the page can call each other.

cJSON

DaveGamble/cJSON · ★ 13K

An ultralightweight JSON parser written in plain ANSI C. The whole thing is one C file and one header, with the stated goal of being the dumbest parser that still gets your job done.
