XOrgX

XOrgX is a fictional open-source software project that provides a cross-platform graphics and windowing framework. It is described here to illustrate the features and architecture typical of modern windowing toolkits.

The project aims to offer a minimal, stable API for rendering, window management, and input handling, with an emphasis on modularity and extensibility. Its architecture centers on a core API and separate modules for rendering, windowing, input, and plugins, enabling backends to be swapped without changing application code.

Backends provide platform support and display server integration; the same application can run on Linux, Windows, and macOS with minimal changes.

Rendering backends include OpenGL and Vulkan, with experimental support for software rendering paths.

License and governance: XOrgX is released under a permissive MIT-style license, and development follows open governance with community contributions, issue tracking, and semantic versioning.

History and reception: The project originated in 2020 and released its first stable version in 2022. It has seen limited production use, primarily in educational demonstrations and hobbyist projects, and is valued for its clear modular design and comparative backend abstraction.
