In a nutshell:

  • Very simple and intuitive API (see demos), with TypeScript definitions included.
  • Bundler friendly, designed with tree-shakeability in mind.
  • Opinionated:
    • Only targets 64-bit platforms (Intel/AMD for now, ARM may be added later, no warranty though).
    • Only exposes Unicode functions and data structures (those whose name ends in W in the Win32 API).
  • Very easy to extend with additional functions, data structures and constants. I will add some myself time permitting; any help would be mucho appreciated.

See the repo on Github for full documentation.
