Part of the Kiwi Foundation

Kiwify.Kiwi.Renderer is the data-display layer of the Kiwi Foundation - a trio of libraries ( Presentation , Renderer , CLI ) that together cover the full surface of building a professional .NET command-line tool.

Renderer sits above Presentation: it writes through IOutputWriter and uses TextStyle / OutputTheme from that library. CLI tools use Renderer to display query results, configuration dumps, and structured status output. The dependency flows one way: Renderer → Presentation. The CLI layer depends on both.

Design philosophy

Renderer is built around a three-layer separation: data shaping, rendering, and output transport. These layers compose independently.

Data shaping is handled by the JSON parsing pipeline or the low-level grid API.…
