Khronos Dev Tools
A collection of useful WebGL debugging and development tools packaged as an ES6 module.
What is Khronos Dev Tools?
WebGLDeveloperTools is a collection of debugging and development utilities specifically designed for WebGL applications. It provides tools for error checking, performance monitoring, and state inspection to help developers identify and fix rendering issues. The package is distributed as ES6 modules for easy integration into modern JavaScript projects.
WebGL developers working on 3D graphics applications, game developers using WebGL, and anyone building interactive visualizations who needs debugging tools for their WebGL code.
Developers choose WebGLDeveloperTools because it provides focused, lightweight debugging utilities specifically for WebGL without the overhead of larger graphics frameworks. Its ES6 module format makes it easy to integrate into modern build systems and include only the tools needed.
Overview
WebGLDeveloperTools provides essential utilities for debugging and developing WebGL applications. These tools help developers identify rendering issues, optimize performance, and understand WebGL state during development.
Key Features
- Debug Context — Wraps WebGL contexts to add error checking, state tracking, and validation capabilities
- Shader Compilation Debugging — Provides detailed error messages and logging for shader compilation failures
- Performance Monitoring — Tools for measuring frame times, draw call counts, and other performance metrics
- State Inspection — Utilities to examine current WebGL state, texture bindings, and buffer configurations
- ES6 Module Support — Designed as modern JavaScript modules for easy integration into contemporary build systems
Philosophy
The project focuses on providing lightweight, focused tools that address common WebGL development pain points without adding unnecessary complexity to production builds.
