WebGL is one aspect of creating modern and advanced 3-D images or animations for new projects built on the Internet. Discussions about WebGL have centered on the various uses of this program and its relative security.

In the past, HTML5 typically replaced the traditional Flash 5 as a primary animation platform. Developers have built many interesting kinds of animations with tools like WebGL.
