# Ooui
Ooui is a small cross-platform UI library for .NET that uses web technologies.
Ooui (pronounced *weeee!*) is a small cross-platform UI library for .NET that uses web technologies.
It presents a classic object-oriented UI API that controls a dumb browser. With Ooui, you get the full power of your favorite .NET programming language *plus* the ability to interact with your app using any device.

## Quick Example

In this example, all users would be interacting with the same button. That's right, automatic collaboration!
With just that code, the user will be presented with a silly click counting button.
If you want each user to get their own button, then you will `Publish` a function to create it:
In fact, any number of users can hit that URL and start interacting with the same button. That's right, automatic collaboration!

Now every user (well, every load of the page) will get their own button.
## How it works
When the user requests a page, Ooui will connect to the client using a Web Socket. This socket is used to keep an in-memory model of the UI (the one you work with as a programmer) in sync with the actual UI shown to the user in their browser.

This socket is used to keep an in-memory model of the UI (the one you work with as a programmer) in sync with the actual UI shown to the user in their browser. This is done using a simple messaging protocol with JSON packets.
When the user clicks or otherwise interacts, those events are sent back over the web socket so that your code can deal with them.
