LoxodonFramework is a lightweight MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) framework. It is specially designed for Unity3D game development. It refers to the MVVM design of WPF and Android. It provides data binding and localization of views and view models , A simple service container, configuration file component, thread tool component, application context and player context, asynchronous thread and coroutine task components, and other basic components. It also provides a framework for UI views. All code is designed based on the idea of object-oriented and interface-oriented, and almost all functions can be customized. In addition, performance optimization has been performed in the data binding part. On the platform that supports JIT, the delegation method is used for binding. On the platforms that do not support JIT, reflection is used by default, but it can be optimized by injecting the delegate function!
This framework is developed using C # language, and also supports XLua for development. XLua plugin is an option. If the project needs hot update, as long as the XLua plugin is installed, you can use Lua to develop the game completely.
This plugin is compatible with MacOSX, Windows, Linux, UWP, IOS and Android, etc., and is completely open source.

-
Support global context and player context;
-
Provide a service container to support registration and deregistration services;
-
Provides universal UI controls such as AlertDialog, Loading, Toast, and supports custom appearance;
-
Provides UI view control and management functions;
-
Provide data binding function:
-
Field binding, only supports OneTime mode, as it cannot support change notification;
