## What it is
A curated list of Vulkan ecosystem resources including libraries, SDKs, tutorials, tools, debuggers, and documentation. It aggregates hardware support info, samples, bindings, books, and papers for the Vulkan graphics API.

## Use cases
- find Vulkan libraries and tools for a graphics project
- learn Vulkan from tutorials and books
- find Vulkan drivers and SDKs for my GPU
- port a graphics engine from OpenGL to Vulkan
- find Vulkan code samples and demos
- look up Vulkan best practices for mobile GPUs

## When to choose
- you are starting or deepening Vulkan development and want a single index of quality resources
- you need to discover Vulkan tools, debuggers, or language bindings
- you want vendor-specific Vulkan guidance from NVIDIA, AMD, Arm, Intel, or Qualcomm

## When to avoid
- you need an actual Vulkan implementation, driver, or SDK rather than links to them
- you are looking for OpenGL or DirectX resources specifically
- you need a maintained software library with a license rather than a reference list

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: graphics, developer-tools, awesome-lists
- platform: cross-platform
