glMatrix is a high-performance JavaScript library for vector and matrix math, hand-tuned for speed in real-time 3D graphics and computational tasks. It is primarily designed for WebGL applications but is usable anywhere JavaScript math performance matters.

Use cases

• perform matrix and vector math for WebGL 3D rendering
• build a 3D game or visualization in the browser
• do fast linear algebra in JavaScript for physics simulations
• compute transformations, rotations, and quaternions for graphics
• optimize math-heavy JavaScript code for performance

When to choose

• you need fast vector/matrix operations for WebGL or WebGL2 apps
• you want a mature, battle-tested math library with a stable API
• you're doing 3D graphics, game development, or simulations in JavaScript

When to avoid

• you need GPU-accelerated or large-scale matrix computations better suited to a numeric computing library
• you're working outside JavaScript
• you need symbolic math or arbitrary-precision arithmetic
