WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API that enables high-performance 3D and 2D graphics rendering within web browsers without requiring plugins. Built on OpenGL ES, it leverages the GPU to accelerate graphics processing, delivering smooth and interactive visual experiences directly in the browser. WebGL is widely used for games, data visualization, simulations, and immersive web applications. It integrates seamlessly with HTML5, allowing developers to create rich, hardware-accelerated graphics using shaders and JavaScript. Major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge support WebGL, making it a cross-platform solution for web-based graphics. With frameworks like Three.js and Babylon.js simplifying development, WebGL empowers creators to build complex, real-time 3D environments that run efficiently on desktop and mobile devices.
