About:
Vulkan-Headers provides the essential Vulkan API header files and XML registry required for developing Vulkan applications and drivers. It serves as the authoritative source for Vulkan definitions, enabling developers to compile against the latest Vulkan specifications without needing the full SDK.
Key Features:
  • Official Khronos Vulkan API headers
  • XML registry for code generation
  • CMake build system support
  • Versioned releases aligned with Vulkan spec
Use Cases:
  • Building Vulkan-based applications and libraries
  • Generating Vulkan bindings for other languages
  • Developing Vulkan drivers or layers
Alternatives:
  • vulkan-sdk – Full SDK includes validation layers, tools, and headers; headers-only is lighter
