This is the main C++ library on which everything is built upon. It is useful if you plan to integrate libossia to a C++ software or write a new OSCQuery-enabled software for instance. Releases are built for Windows (with Visual Studio 2019 16.6), macOS (targeting 10.14+ with Intel CPUs), and Ubuntu Linux (with gcc-9). The library is also known to build under iOS, Android, WASM, as well as ARM Linux.

libossia provides a clean C89 header which wraps the most important functionality. It can be used with the libossia-native libraries above which contain the functionality linked in.

libossia is available as a Max package.

libossia is available as a PureData package. It is also supported for PurrData. In PureData, you can install ossia directly through the package manager ; this is the recommended way.

libossia provides a C# binding. An additional Unity3D GameObject integration layer is available. The library ships as an asset that can be copied into your project. The C# files at the root level (Assets/ossia) do not depend on Unity3D and can be used from any C# code base.

libossia provides JVM bindings, which allows it to be used with Processing, etc.

libossia is available as an openFrameworks extension made to expose a tree of ofParameters to OSCQuery easily.

libossia is available for SuperCollider.

libossia integrates with the QML markup language, to easily build performant user interfaces.

libossia is useable from Python.

libossia provides a Faust architecture file. It will expose the controls over OSCQuery.
