What is WebGL data visualization?

WebGL data visualization refers to the use of WebGL, a JavaScript API for rendering interactive 2D and 3D graphics within any compatible web browser, to display and interact with complex data sets visually. By leveraging the power of the GPU directly from the browser, WebGL enables the creation of highly responsive, interactive, and visually rich representations of data, such as graphs, charts, and scientific visualizations. This approach is especially useful for handling large-scale or real-time data, as it allows for smooth rendering and manipulation. Common libraries used for WebGL data visualization include Three.js and Deck.gl. These technologies help make data more understandable and actionable for users.
