Three.js

Three.js is a lightweight and multipurpose JavaScript library aimed at creating 3D graphics on the browser. It mainly uses WebGL and WebGPU processors, as well as offers additional processor options such as SVG and CSS3D. The library works with the principle that these objects are processed within animation cycles by defining scenes, cameras, and geometrical objects.
