The '''Windows Template Library''' ('''WTL''') is a [[free software]], [[Object-oriented programming|object-oriented]] [[C++]] template [[Library (computer science)|library]] for [[Win32]] development. WTL was created by [[Microsoft]] employee Nenad Stefanovic for internal use and later released as an unsupported add-on to [[Visual Studio]] and the Win32 Framework SDK. It was developed primarily as a light-weight alternative to the [[Microsoft Foundation Classes]] and builds upon Microsoft's [[Active Template Library|ATL]], another lightweight API widely used to create [[Component Object Model|COM]] and [[ActiveX]] libraries.
