liblava
A modern C++23 library providing essential abstractions and utilities for low-level Vulkan graphics programming.
What is liblava?
liblava is a modern C++ library that provides essential abstractions and utilities for working with the Vulkan graphics API. It simplifies low-level graphics programming by offering a clean, modular framework for building Vulkan-based applications, tools, and prototypes. The library handles common tasks like window management, input handling, shader compilation, and asset loading, reducing the boilerplate typically associated with Vulkan.
Graphics programmers, game engine developers, and educators who need a practical, high-level abstraction over Vulkan for prototyping, tooling, or learning purposes. It's suited for those familiar with C++ who want to leverage Vulkan's performance without dealing with its raw complexity.
Developers choose liblava for its modern C++23 design, lean modular architecture, and focus on essential Vulkan abstractions. It offers a balanced approach—simplifying common tasks while keeping Vulkan's flexibility accessible, making it ideal for rapid development and experimentation.
