How does it differ from https://weasyprint.org ?

WeasyPrint is great, but PlutoPrint takes a different angle: the engine is all C++, so it’s faster and lighter on memory. It can render directly to PNG as well as PDF, and has stronger SVG support.

  • PlutoBook looks very impressive. Is it based on another renderer?

    • Doesn't look like it:

      > PlutoBook depends on the following external libraries:

      > Required: cairo, freetype, harfbuzz, fontconfig, expat, icu

      > Optional: curl, turbojpeg, webp (enable additional features)
