Getting Started

This section is for first-time adopters and for people returning to the repo after the feature surface has grown. It explains what AXSG is, which artifacts to install, how to wire a project, and where to look next once the first build succeeds.

Recommended path

1. Read Why AXSG to understand what you get beyond a normal XAML toolchain.
2. Read Installation to choose the right package or tool entry point.
3. Read InitializeComponent and Loader Fallback if the app already has hand-written AvaloniaXamlLoader.Load(this) code-behind.
4. Follow Quickstart to get a project building with generated output.
5. Walk through Samples and Feature Tour to see the supported language and runtime features in one place.

After the first successful build

• If you care about XAML authoring features, continue with XAML.

• If you are working in VS Code, jump to VS Code and Language Service.

• If you are integrating AXSG into a larger build or package graph, use Package Selection and Integration.
