Udon is primarily used as a replacement for [https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.html MonoBehaviors] in Unity. Udon is designed to securely interface with the VRChat platform in a sandboxed environment with a select set of approved operations to perform various actions that can optionally be synced across the network. Udon covers a wide range of native C# and Unity operations as well as VRChat specific operations that can be used to build advanced worlds and experiences in VRChat.

Udon is a C# derived high level object-oriented programming editor for the VRChat World SDK, created by the VRChat Development Team and released in 2018 for SDK2, then eventually SDK3. You can code traditionally using UdonSharp (U#) which allows the use of limited C# syntax, or utilize the Udon Node Graph UI for visual scripting using 'noodles' to connect nodes together. Udon also compiles to its own bytecode known as Udon Assembly which can be interpreted by the VRChat platform.

Udon is primarily used as a replacement for MonoBehaviors in Unity. Udon is designed to securely interface with the VRChat platform in a sandboxed environment with a select set of approved operations to perform various actions that can optionally be synced across the network. Udon covers a wide range of native C# and Unity operations as well as VRChat specific operations that can be used to build advanced worlds and experiences in VRChat.
