GLFWPP
A thin, modern, header-only C++17 wrapper for GLFW providing RAII objects, scoped enums, and exceptions.
What is GLFWPP?
GLFWPP is a C++ wrapper for the GLFW library, which is used for creating windows, contexts, and handling input for graphics applications using OpenGL, OpenGL ES, or Vulkan. It provides a modern, object-oriented interface with RAII resource management, scoped enums, and exception-based error handling, solving the problem of manually managing GLFW's C-style API in C++ projects.
C++ developers building cross-platform graphics applications, games, or simulations who want a safer and more modern interface to GLFW without sacrificing performance or compatibility.
Developers choose GLFWPP because it offers the safety and convenience of modern C++ features like RAII and exceptions while being a thin wrapper that closely mirrors the original GLFW API, ensuring low overhead and easy porting of existing GLFW code.
