When it fits — and when it doesn’t

Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited documentation and examples

   The official documentation is sparse, making it difficult for new users to understand how to effectively use the library ecosystem.

2. 02

   Dependence on browserify can complicate modern build processes

   Modern JavaScript projects often prefer Webpack or Rollup over browserify, which can lead to additional configuration and potential conflicts in setup.

3. 03

   Performance overhead due to extensive use of npm modules

   The reliance on numerous npm modules for WebGL operations can introduce performance bottlenecks, especially in resource-intensive applications.

4. 04

   Community activity has declined over the years

   GitHub activity and contributions have decreased since its peak, indicating a smaller community to support and develop new features.

What it does well

• Comprehensive WebGL library ecosystem

• Built on top of browserify and npm for easy integration

• Open-source with a strong community contribution
