Did you know that modern web 3D experiences are built on OpenGL? is essentially a JavaScript binding for OpenGL ES (Embedded Systems). Every interactive 3D website, browser-based game, or data visualization tool runs on the principles established by the OpenGL standard.

For the web, OpenGL comes in a slightly different flavour: (Web Graphics Library). WebGL is a JavaScript API based on OpenGL ES 2.0 (the version used on embedded systems and mobile devices). It brings GPU‑accelerated 3D rendering to the HTML5 <canvas> element without the need for any plugins – a huge step forward for web graphics.

OpenGL itself is just a specification, not an executable library. To build an application, you need helper libraries to handle window creation and locate driver-specific functions.

While OpenGL (via WebGL) is mature, the new API (based on Vulkan, Metal, Direct3D 12) offers:
