Rezi

Overview

RtlZeroMemory/Rezi

Architecture¶

Rezi is built as a layered system: a runtime-agnostic UI core, a Node.js backend, and a native rendering engine.

Runtime stack¶

Data flow (high level)¶

Your view function produces a widget tree (VNodes) in @rezi-ui/core.
The core runtime computes layout, focus, and render updates.
The Node backend sends drawlists (ZRDL) and event batches (ZREV) across the native boundary.
Zireael performs terminal I/O and diff-based rendering.
