Introduction

Welcome to the official iced-markup guide.

iced-markup is a declarative, JSX-inspired Domain Specific Language (DSL) built for the Iced GUI library in Rust.

The goal of this project is to take the pain out of building complex, nested layouts by replacing deeply nested builder chains with a clean, readable markup syntax that expands at compile-time—meaning zero runtime cost and maximum performance.

Why use iced-markup?

• Readability: Your UI code actually looks like a UI, not a giant tower of .push() calls.
• Speed: It uses procedural macros to generate the exact code you would have written by hand.
• Native Logic: Use real Rust if and for blocks inside your UI definitions.
• Power: Shorthands for events, styling pipes, and component slots make high-level UI construction effortless.
