The wxWidgets [[Library (computing)|library]] is implemented in [[C++]], with [[Language binding|bindings]] available for many commonly used [[programming language]]s.<ref>{{cite web |title = wxWidgets General Information |url = https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/General_Information |website = wxwidgets.org |access-date = 2015-08-01 }}</ref>

wxWidgets is best described as a [[native mode]] toolkit as it provides a thin abstraction to a platform's native widgets, contrary to emulating the display of widgets using graphic primitives. Calling a native widget on the target platform results in a more native looking interface than toolkits such as [[Swing (Java)|Swing]] (for Java), as well as offering performance and other benefits.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/WxWidgets_Compared_To_Other_Toolkits |title = WxWidgets Compared To Other Toolkits |website = wxwidgets.org |access-date = 2010-01-02 }}</ref>

The toolkit is also not restricted to GUI development, having an [[inter-process communication]] layer, [[internet socket|socket]] networking functionality, and more.
