Custom backends

Overview

With being open and extensible as a core goal, SwiftCrossUI allows custom backends to be implemented in third-party packages.

"Simply" implement the BaseAppBackend protocol and you're good to go!

Note: While BaseAppBackend is all that's required for a functional, production-ready backend, there are more features (part of FullAppBackend) that you may want to implement. These features are all optional and may be omitted if your underlying UI framework doesn't support them.

See the documentation for FullAppBackend and the BackendFeatures namespace enum for more details.
