Windows

1. Application Programming Microsoft offers a basic


Interface (API) for Win32: collection of APIs for
application development to
create Windows apps, known
as the Win32 API.
It has features for managing
memory, handling files,
creating GUIs, and more.

2. The.NET Framework: Microsoft created the.NET


software framework, which is
pronounced dot-net. For
creating Windows
applications, the.NET
framework offers an
extensive programming
paradigm.
It has support for several
languages, including VB.NET,
F#, and C#, and comes with
a Common Language
Runtime (CLR) to control how
programs run.
3. Direct-X: Microsoft created DirectX, a
set of APIs, for tasks relating
to multimedia, including
gaming and video playback.
It gives programmers
low-level access to audio and
visual hardware so they may
create high-performing
multimedia apps.

MacOS

1. Cocoa and Touch of Developing applications for


Cocoa: MacOS requires using the
major application
programming interface,
Cocoa. An addition to Cocoa
for iOS programming is
Cocoa Touch.
It has frameworks for
managing data, processing
events, and creating
graphical user interfaces.

2. Metal: Apple's low-level graphics


API, known as Metal, is
intended for
high-performance graphics
rendering on iOS and Mac
platforms.
Because it gives developers
direct access to the GPU,
they can efficiently construct
programs with a lot of
graphics.
3. Programming Language Apple created the
Swift: programming language Swift
so that developers could
create programs for
watchOS, tvOS, iOS, and
MacOS.
It is now the language of
choice for many Apple
developers because of its
contemporary, quick, and
safe architecture.

Linux

1. Portable Operating System The application programming


Interface, or POSIX: interface (API) for Linux and
other UNIX-like operating
systems is defined by the
POSIX family of standards.
For operations like file
input/output, process
management, and
interprocess communication,
it offers a standardized set of
functions.

2. Qt and GTK: Popular widget toolkits for


creating graphical user
interfaces on Linux include Qt
and GTK (GIMP Toolkit).
While Qt is utilized by KDE,
GTK is typically linked to the
GNOME desktop
environment. A collection of
libraries and tools for GUI
development are offered by
both.
3. Kernel Modules for Linux: Code modules, or bits of
code that may be dynamically
loaded into the Linux kernel,
are supported by Linux.
Kernel modules allow
developers to expand or add
features at the kernel level.
