Components & Modules

40 opt-in CMake components, stable System/* include paths, and a focused dependency closure for every consumer.

ℹ Selecting components
New applications request the components they use and link their direct targets. sharp-runtime resolves public dependencies automatically. The complete runtime remains available through SharpRuntime::All.

Physical Component Catalogue

Static components compile implementation sources. Interface components contribute headers and their dependency closure without producing a separate archive.

Compatibility Components

These targets preserve broad historical surfaces. New code should use a narrow component from the table above.

ComponentMeaning
CoreCompatibility umbrella for Core.Base, Console, Uri, and TimeZone.
CollectionsCompatibility umbrella for all three collections components.
Xml.XPathAlias of the Xml component.
AllAggregate of every physical component, exposed as SharpRuntime::All.
SHARP_RUNTIMELegacy target which forwards to SharpRuntime::All only when All is selected.
