Differences with Dioxus
Freya uses some of the core packages of Dioxus, but not all of them.
These are the main differences between Freya and the official Dioxus renderers for Desktop (WebView and Blitz):
| Category | Freya | Dioxus Renderers |
|---|---|---|
| Elements, attributes and events | Custom | HTML |
| Layout | Torin | CSS or Taffy |
| Styling | Custom | CSS |
| Renderer | Skia | WebView or WGPU |
| Components library | Custom | None, but can use HTML elements and CSS libraries |
| Devtools | Custom | Provided in Webview |
| Headless testing runner | Custom | None, but there is Playwright and similar |
