v8rocket

v8rocket is a library for integrating v8 with libRocket, and to expose the XHTML DOM to Javascript.

libRocket (http://librocket.com) is a renderer agnostic XHTML/CSS renderer, useful for creating UIs for games and the like. Hopefully makes assembling a game UI a breeze.

v8 (http://code.google.com/p/v8/) is a fast Javascript engine, used by the Chromium browser to execute Javascript.

Advantages of v8rocket:

Renderer agnostic, input agnostic, allows a fully dynamic layout, that can grow/shrink etc. as needed, uses existing layout technology - standardized XHTML/CSS to describe layout, allows easy "theming" via CSS, or even changing the XHTML, without having to recompile, allows delegation of UI work to developers skilled in web programming.
