Tools Application
The XRF tools application is a Tauri desktop app with Rust commands and a React UI. Use it for interactive inspection and one-off data operations; use the CLI for scripted work.
The application source is split across:
xrf-tools/bin/xrf-app: Tauri backend plugins and commands;xrf-tools/bin/xrf-ui: React routes, pages, stores, and components;xrf-tools/crates/*: reusable parsers, verifiers, packers, and project readers.

Project paths
The app stores selected XRF project and configs paths in local storage. Several tools use those paths to prefill common
locations such as src/engine/configs, target/gamedata/spawns/all.spawn, target/game_link, and
src/engine/translations.
