LLGL
A thin abstraction layer for modern graphics APIs (OpenGL, Direct3D, Vulkan, Metal) across desktop and mobile platforms.
What is LLGL?
LLGL (Low Level Graphics Library) is a cross-platform graphics abstraction layer that provides a unified interface to modern rendering APIs like OpenGL, Direct3D, Vulkan, and Metal. It simplifies graphics programming by allowing developers to write code once and deploy across multiple platforms, including desktop and mobile. The library offers close coupling with underlying APIs to enable advanced graphics features while reducing architectural complexity.
Graphics engineers, game developers, and application developers who need to support multiple graphics APIs and platforms without rewriting rendering code for each target.
Developers choose LLGL for its thin abstraction design that minimizes overhead while providing extensive API coverage and cross-platform support. Its language wrappers (C99, C#, Go) and integration with build systems like CMake make it accessible and practical for diverse development environments.
