How It Works
WPF Compatibility
We enable WPF apps to run on macOS and Linux with our Fork of WPF, which allows us to maintain both API and binary compatibility with WPF. Avalonia XPF replaces the low-level WPF code (MilCore) with Avalonia.
3rd Party Controls
Avalonia XPF supports a broad range of UI controls from the most popular control vendors. Where controls aren't compatible, we provide a range of options, including substitution.
Supported Platforms
Avalonia XPF currently supports Windows, macOS and Linux (desktop and embedded).
Licensing
Licenses are available to purchase on a per-app basis, with no limits on distribution.
WPF for Linux
The rise of desktop Linux in scientific computing and its significant growth into embedded scenarios makes it an excellent moment to guarantee your WPF applications are Linux-compatible. Avalonia XPF is your gateway to effortlessly cater to an extensive array of Linux distributions, requiring minimal to no modifications of your code!
Avalonia XPF can bring about significant cost savings, particularly for embedded devices. Avalonia XPF enables shifting to more cost-effective ARM-based hardware, presenting a financially savvy alternative to x86-based devices. Combined with Linux's absence of OS licensing fees, it starkly contrasts the embedded Windows ecosystem, offering a compelling financial reason to adopt Avalonia XPF.
