And… to answer my 1st question myself: just me being a newbee. Of course lv_xml_create() just accepts a parent node, I have to read the code before I ask questions! Anyway, created some bindings for xml-loader. Works great! Thanks!

Let me answer multiple questions here:

  • Yes, there will be a VSCode plugin, planned for v0.2 so in a few month.
  • You can choose to export C code and forget the XMLs. These are pure LVGL UI code.
  • We are thinking hard about how get rid of Docker and provided a simpler getting started flow.
  • The expat XML parser is only a few files ad you can build it with LVGL
  • We have selected XML and will stick to it for a while for sure. There is no plan to add support to YAML in the near future.
  • With lv_xml_create(parent, "widget_name", attributes_array) you can create widgets on any parents to replace “innerHTML”. The widgets created by lv_xml_create are identical to the widgets created by lv_..._create(). So you can delete, move, adjust them as you wish.
  • I’ll add an lv_obj_set/get_name function very soon. The related discussion is here. There also should be an lv_obj_get_by_name(parent, "name") function which returns the first child with that name (maybe not direct child, but grand child).
