Cathode is a toolkit for writing terminal-based applications. It is effectively a complete replacement for the .NET console APIs.
With Windows Terminal having replaced the old Windows console host, it makes little sense for console interaction to still be centered around the old console host and the many limitations it had. Cathode provides an API centered around a VT100 terminal with some extensions from later models and modern terminal emulators. It works on all desktop platforms that .NET supports.
This project offers the following packages:
- Vezel.Cathode: Provides the core terminal API.
- Vezel.Cathode.Extensions: Provides terminal hosting and logging for the .NET Generic Host.
See the sample programs for examples of what the API can do.
