FireMonkey: Fast Cross-Platform Framework for Native Apps

Build high-performance native apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and Linux from a single C++ codebase with FireMonkey, a 2D and 3D framework integrated in RAD Studio.

What is FireMonkey?

FireMonkey is a software application framework developed by Embarcadero Technologies for rapid application development. It allows developers to build high performance, visually stunning applications that can run natively across Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and Linux platforms from a single C++ codebase.

Some key features and capabilities of FireMonkey include:

  • Integrated development environment for building cross-platform GUI applications with Delphi or C++
  • Hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics rendering
  • Support for basic UI elements like forms, buttons, lists as well as advanced components like graphical controls, 3D objects and effects
  • Styles architecture and custom components for flexible and powerful UI design
  • Multi-touch gesture support for natural mobile app interactions
  • GPU-powered vector animation and transition effects
  • Support for mobile device features like sensors, camera, geolocation etc.
  • Rapid prototyping with Live Previews allows changes to render in real-time

FireMonkey enables faster development and maximum code reuse across platforms. The visual interfaces are rendered natively for optimal performance while the business logic code can be shared.
