# Prism

Prism is a framework for building loosely coupled, maintainable, and testable XAML applications in WPF, Xamarin Forms, Uno Platform and WinUI. Separate releases are available for each platform and those will be developed on independent timelines. Prism provides an implementation of a collection of design patterns that are helpful in writing well-structured and maintainable XAML applications, including MVVM, dependency injection, commands, EventAggregator, and others. Prism's core functionality is a shared code base supported in .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Framework 4.5 / 4.7. Those things that need to be platform specific are implemented in the respective libraries for the target platform. Prism also provides great integration of these patterns with the target platform. For example, Prism for Xamarin Forms allows you to use an abstraction for navigation that is unit testable, but that layers on top of the platform concepts and APIs for navigation so that you can fully leverage what the platform itself has to offer, but done in the MVVM way.

As most of you know, it takes a lot of time and effort for our small team to manage and maintain Prism in our spare time. Even though Prism is open source and hosted on GitHub, there are a number of costs associated with maintaining a project such as Prism. Please be sure to Star the Prism repo and help sponsor Dan and Brian on GitHub. As a bonus GitHub sponsors get access to Sponsor Connect where you can access exclusive training content, all Prism CI builds, and a Sponsor Only Discord with Brian and Dan!

The Prism Team would first and foremost like to thank all of those developers who have stepped up over the past 4 years with GitHub Sponsors. We are committed to ensuring the longevity and success of the Prism Library. As a result Prism 9.0 is now [Dual License](LICENSE). We continue to offer a FREE Community License for the vast majority of our community, while the Commercial License will now be required by larger organizations to help fund and support the development of Prism. We additionally have the Commercial Plus License which grants access to a number of additional support libraries that build on top of Prism as well as a private Discord channel where you can ask questions and interact with the Prism Team.
