Universal Windows Platform (UWP) is an API developed by Microsoft, first introduced in Windows 10. The purpose of the platform is to help develop universal apps that run on Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile, Xbox One, and HoloLens without having to be redeveloped for each. It supports Windows app development using C++, C#, VB.NET, and XAML. The API is implemented in C++ and is supported in C++, VB.NET, C#, F#, and JavaScript. Designed as an extension of the Windows Runtime platform first introduced in Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, UWP allows developers to create apps that can potentially run on multiple types of devices.
