proteus - Proteus : A JSON based LayoutInflater for Android

•    Java

---

Proteus is meant to be a drop-in replacement for Android’s LayoutInflater; but unlike the compiled XML layouts bundled in the APK, Proteus inflates layouts at runtime. With Proteus, you can control your Apps layout from the backend (no WebViews). Forget the boilerplate code to findViewById, cast it to a TextView, and then setText(). Proteus has runtime data bindings and formatters. Plugin in your own custom views and attributes and functions to flavour proteus to your requirements. Instead of writing layouts in XML, in proteus layouts are described in JSON, which can be used to inflate native Android UI at runtime. The JSON layouts can be hosted anywhere (on the device, on servers, etc.).

AutoLayout.js implements Apple's Auto Layout and Visual Format Language in Javascript. Auto layout is a system which lets you perform lay out using mathematical relationships (constraints). It uses the awesome Cassowary.js library to do the actual constraint resolving and implements Apple's constraint system and Visual Format Language (vfl) on top of that. It supports the Extended VFL syntax, including view-stacks and z-indexing. AutoLayout.js is an abstract library for integrating Auto Layout and VFL into other javascript technologies. It provides a simple API and programming model that you can use to build your own auto layout and VFL solution. A simple example of this is, is using position: absolute; to lay out DOM elements. A more elobarate example of this is the Visual Format Editor, which is built using famo.us and famous-flex. AutoLayout.js is written in ES6 and contains transpiled distribution files.

driveway is an explorative project for developing pure CSS masonry layouts. It is developed using stylus. You may have come here from the blog post I wrote about pure CSS masonry layouts. If that's the case and you want the exact code I used in that post(with vendor prefixing), you'll be best served looking in the dist folder for driveway.blog.css and driveway.blog.min.css. Alternatively, use bower to pull in the repo.

emeus - Constraint-based layout manager for GTK+

•    C

---

Emeus is a constraint-based layout manager widget for GTK+, written using the Cassowary constraint solving algorithm. The first model works really well in ensuring that UIs are responsive to size changes, by avoiding pixel-perfect positioning on the screen, as well as ensuring that changing the font size or margins and paddings do not break the user interface; its main down side is that it requires accurate, and often verbose packing of widgets inside boxes, inside other boxes.

faberjs - FaberJS is an open-source platform-independent layouting engine capable of mimicking different CSS layouting paradigm(ex

•    Javascript

---

FaberJS is an open-source layouting engine currently supporting CSS Grid like declarations. Unlike HTML element which can leverage the power of CSS for Grid layouts, objects like SVG or custom objects cannot do that. Hence this library tries to solve that problem. For example, we have an object storing drawing information like dimensions and styles and then for laying itself in a parent container, FaberJS can be used. CSS Grid Layout is one of the most powerful layout system available in CSS. It is a 2-dimensional system, meaning it can handle both columns and rows, unlike flexbox which is largely a 1-dimensional system. You work with Grid Layout by applying CSS rules both to a parent element (which becomes the Grid Container) and to that element's children (which become Grid Items).
