WebGL
WebGL is a JavaScript API standard for rendering 2D and 3D graphics in web browsers without plug-ins.
WebGL is a web graphics API maintained by the nonprofit standards consortium Khronos Group, with version 1.0 released in 2011. Based on OpenGL ES, it draws GPU-accelerated graphics in the HTML canvas element.
Major web browsers support WebGL, and it is used for 3D data visualization, browser games and interactive scenes. Libraries such as Three.js build on WebGL to simplify creating 3D scenes.
