Cax is a lightweight Canvas 2D rendering engine with SVG path support, built-in display objects (Bitmap, Sprite, Graphics, Shape, Text), clipping, filters, and a cross-platform motion library. It runs on the Web, WeChat Mini Programs, and Mini Games with a DOM-like element and event model.

Use cases

• render 2d graphics on canvas
• draw svg paths on canvas
• build charts with canvas rendering
• animate canvas elements cross-platform
• render graphics in wechat mini programs
• build canvas-based mini games

When to choose

• you need one rendering codebase across web and WeChat mini programs/games
• you want a lightweight canvas engine with DOM-like element management and events
• you need SVG path rendering, clipping, or CSS filters on canvas

When to avoid

• you need WebGL or 3D rendering
• you want a mainstream, actively maintained engine like PixiJS
• your project requires a permissively documented license review - the repo lacks a visible license file
