What is WebGL?

WebGL (Web Graphics Library) is a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 2D and 3D graphics within any compatible web browser without the use of plug-ins. WebGL does this by introducing an API that closely conforms to OpenGL ES 3.0 and provides access to hardware graphics acceleration. It is commonly used for creating interactive 3D models, visualizations, and games directly within web browsers.
