WebGL

WebGL is a rendering API targeting web browsers. It is based on OpenGL ES and uses GLSL ES 3.0 (for WebGL 2.0) as its shading language.

It's widely supported but has an older design (immediate-mode rendering instead of command buffers) with more overhead and less access to modern GPU capabilities compared to WebGPU.
