Alternative to ncurses for modern C++ (TUI)

Curses is the de facto TUI base, but there is no de facto standard C++ wrapper around curses. Google has FlatUI, FTXUI and Notcurses are popular, imtui is directly inspired by Dear ImGui. The list goes on and on, there are plenty of popular TUI libraries that all build upon Curses.

This can be as easy as wrapping a simple stdin/stdout loop with rlwrap, all the way to using full featured TUI libraries like bubbletea (golang), textual (python) or imtui (c++).

Is there a de-facto standard of C++ TUI library?

I wouldn't call it standard, but https://github.com/ggerganov/imtui is pretty cool. It puts https://github.com/ocornut/imgui over ncurses.

check out https://github.com/libyui/libyui . It's quite powerful.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing imtui and libyui you can also consider the following projects:

FTXUI - Features: - Functional style. Inspired by [1] and React - Simple and elegant syntax (in my opinion). - Support for UTF8 and fullwidth chars (→ 测试). - No dependencies. - Cross platform. Linux/mac (main target), Windows (experimental thanks to contributors), - WebAssembly. - Keyboard & mouse navigation. Operating systems: - linux emscripten - linux gcc - linux clang - windows msvc - mac clang
