glo / OpenGL Overload
OpenGL implementation on top of Vulkan, with plans to support Metal and DirectX12 backends.
What is glo / OpenGL Overload?
OpenGL Overload (GLO) is an open-source project that implements the OpenGL graphics API on top of modern graphics backends like Vulkan. It solves the problem of ecosystem fragmentation caused by multiple proprietary graphics APIs by providing a familiar OpenGL interface that can run on various modern rendering technologies.
Graphics developers working with OpenGL who want to leverage modern graphics APIs like Vulkan without rewriting their entire codebase, and developers seeking cross-platform graphics solutions.
Developers choose GLO because it provides a bridge between the familiar OpenGL API and modern graphics backends, reducing the learning curve and development effort required to adopt newer graphics technologies while maintaining cross-platform compatibility.
