Avalonia is a free and open-source[3][4] .NET cross-platform XAML-based UI framework [5]inspired by WPF/UWP and distributed under the MIT license.[6][7][8]

It enables development of cross-platform applications using any .NET language, including C#, F#[9] and VB.NET for Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS, Android and WebAssembly.[10][11]

Avalonia supports multiple renderers, including Direct2D and Skia,[12] allowing it to operate on a broad range of platforms. Avalonia draws it's entire UI,[13] mirroring the approach taken by Flutter.

History

Avalonia, originally named Perspex,[14] was first developed by Steven Kirk, with its initial commit made on 5 December 2013. The framework was conceived with the aim of creating a cross-platform UI framework, inspired by Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF).[15]

Avalonia became part of the .NET Foundation[16] on 1 April 2020.[17]

IDE Support

Avalonia maintains supports for the following IDEs and editors via plugins:

Other IDEs can be used with community-supported plugins, including JetBrains Rider.[21]
