The higher up you go, the less you have to do -yourself. Elementary is about as high up as you get, while you still -access layers below it for day to day things as there is no need for -it to wrap things that work perfectly well as-is. - -All of EFL exposes its APIs by default in C, with several bindings -available. We are now also working on supporting bindings for various -language as first-class-citizens in EFL by auto-generating the -bindings directly from our new object orientation infrastructure for -C. We stick to C mostly because the libraries have been around for a -long time, were originally written in C and the developers who write -the libraries prefer C. We add OO features in C with tools and -infrastructure where needed. Also moving from C would limit the -audience. C programmers won't be able to access a %%C++%% API (whereas a -%%C++%% programmer can access both C and %%C++%%). That is partly why we aim -to auto-generate bindings so programmers of various languages can get -native-like APIs for their chose language from the same core EFL API -set. - -Our components are divided into named libraries or projects. Core EFL -components are: - -^Component ^ Description ^ -|Evas |Core scene graph and rendering | -|Eina |Data structures and low level helpers | -|Edje |UI layout & animation data files for themes | -|Eet |Data (de)serialization and storage | -|Ecore |Core loop and system abstractions like X11 | -|Efreet |Freedesktop.org standards handling | -|Eldbus |D-Bus glue and handling | -|Embryo |Tiny VM and compiler based on Pawn | -|Eeze |Device enumeration and access library | -|Emotion |Video decode wrapping, glue and abstraction | -|Ethumb |Thumbnailing handler | -|Ephysics |Physics (bullet) wrapper and Evas glue | -|EIO |Asynchronous I/O handling | -|Evas Generic Loaders |Extra image loaders for complex image types | -|Emotion Generic Players |Extra video decoders (for VLC) | -|Elementary |Widgets and high level abstractions | - -Binding support exists for several languages such as: - - * Python - * Javascript - * %%C++%% - * Ruby - * Lua - -EFL was originally intended to provide the core for Enlightenment, but -has grown to do much more.
