: Check if it is a sub-dependency of a larger framework (like React Native, Flutter, or a gaming engine), as these often use "xplat" (cross-platform) naming for their C++ modules.
The "XPlat" (short for Cross-Platform) Windows APIs are open-source tools that help developers use familiar Windows Runtime (UWP) structures in cross-platform environments like Xamarin.
