PixieInspector

A reflection-based object inspector for .NET: point it at a type, bind one or more objects, and it builds a tree of the members, reads and writes them, and reports what it could not do. The core knows no UI framework; a view per framework shows the tree and edits it. PixieEngine's C# editor uses it to inspect engine state.

Early stage. The core and each view are a package on nuget.org, all five at one version; a consumer takes the view it shows the inspector with, and the core and PixieLib come with it:

Package Target What it is
PixieInspector net10.0 The core
PixieInspector.ImGui net10.0 The Dear ImGui view, on Hexa.NET.ImGui; the host must use the same binding and version
PixieInspector.Avalonia net10.0 The Avalonia view
PixieInspector.WinForms net10.0-windows The WinForms view
PixieInspector.Wpf net10.0-windows The WPF view
dotnet add package PixieInspector.ImGui

From this repository:

dotnet build PixieInspector.slnx -p:EnableWindowsTargeting=true
dotnet run --project hosts/TuxHost/TuxHost.csproj

A consumer takes three assemblies: the core, one view, and PixieLib, which supplies the primitives.
