Cairo bindings, which are expected to follow the binding guidelines as closely as possible, are available for various languages:

• Ada : CairoAda

• C++ : cairomm

• Common Lisp : cl-cairo2, cffi-cairo

• Haskell : hscairo

• Java : cairo-java and CairoJava

• Mono and .NET bindings (C# and any other CLS language) are bundled with the Mono distribution in the Mono.Cairo library.

  • Cleaned up and more recent bindings for Mono/.NET can be found at NDesk (see http://git.ndesk.org/?p=cairo-sharp). Only makefiles are provided but it is simple to create a class library in Visual Studio or Monodevelop and include all the csharp files in the src directory.

• Nickle : cairo-nickle

• Objective Caml : cairo-ocaml

• Perl : cairo-perl

• PHP : cairo-php

• Python : pycairo

• Ruby : rcairo

• Scheme: guile-cairo

• Squeak : Rome

• Digitalmars D: cairoD - simple wrapper for D direct C API

• Lua : Lua-Cairo, Lua-OOCairo

• Vala

Toolkit Bindings

Since cairo is only a drawing library, it can be quite useful to integrate it with a graphical user interface toolkit.

• FLTK has full cairo support (through "--enable-cairo" compile switch).

• GNUstep bindings: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnustep/gnustep/core/back/Source/cairo/

• GTK+ 2.8+ has full support for cairo.
