The primary goals of WDF is conceptual scalability and reduced duplication, enabling developers to apply the same concepts across different driver types and reducing the code overhead required for drivers. These individual frameworks provide a new object-oriented programming model for Windows driver development. WDF consists of Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) and User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF). It complements Windows Driver Model, abstracting away much of the boilerplate complexity in writing Windows drivers.
Windows Driver Frameworks ( WDF, formerly Windows Driver Foundation), is a set of Microsoft tools and libraries that aid in the creation of device drivers for Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows. com /en-us /windows-hardware /drivers /wdf /index com /Microsoft /Windows-Driver-Frameworksĭevelopment tool, application programming interfaceĭocs.
