Cannon-es
A lightweight, modern 3D physics engine for JavaScript with TypeScript support and tree-shaking capabilities.
What is Cannon-es?
cannon-es is a lightweight 3D physics engine written in JavaScript that provides realistic physics simulations for web applications and games. It's a maintained fork of the original cannon.js with modern improvements including TypeScript support, tree shaking, and performance optimizations. The engine handles collisions, forces, impulses, and body dynamics in three-dimensional space.
JavaScript developers building 3D web applications, games, or interactive experiences who need physics simulation capabilities. Particularly useful for those working with Three.js or react-three-fiber who require a lightweight physics solution.
Developers choose cannon-es for its modern JavaScript/TypeScript support, tree-shaking capabilities that reduce bundle sizes, and maintained codebase with numerous fixes and improvements over the original cannon.js. It provides a balance between performance and features for web-based 3D physics.
