    Lua error in mw.title.lua at line 392: bad argument #2 to 'title.new' (unrecognized namespace name 'Portal'). Avalonia is a free and open-source[2][3] .NET cross-platform XAML-based UI framework [4] inspired by WPF/UWP and distributed under the MIT License.[5][6][7] Avalonia supports the MVVM pattern.[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 Graphics Engine,[12] allowing it to operate on a broad range of platforms. Avalonia draws its entire UI,[13] mirroring the approach taken by Flutter.

    History

    [edit | edit source]

    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] and left on 20 February 2024.[18]

    On 24 June 2025, Avalonia announced a $3 million sponsorship from Devolutions to support the continued development of the framework while maintaining its free and open-source nature.[19]
