## What it is
HTML GL is a JavaScript library that renders HTML/CSS elements as WebGL textures to bypass slow DOM rendering, achieving high FPS animations with GPU acceleration. It works as a Web Component (`<html-gl>`) or jQuery plugin and lets developers apply OpenGL-style effects to DOM content.

## Use cases
- speed up HTML/CSS animations to 60 FPS
- render DOM elements in WebGL for GPU acceleration
- apply OpenGL shader effects like filters to HTML elements
- fix slow DOM animation performance in web apps
- create WebGL-powered sliders and interactive UI with plain HTML/CSS
- add ripple and mobile-friendly visual effects to web pages

## When to choose
- you need 60 FPS animations for complex HTML/CSS content
- you want game-like visual effects (filters, shaders) applied to DOM elements
- you prefer writing HTML/CSS but need WebGL rendering performance
- you want a framework-agnostic solution usable as a Web Component or jQuery plugin

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library - the last release was in 2021 and there is no license file in the repo
- your animations are already smooth with CSS transforms and hardware acceleration
- you need broad browser compatibility or accessibility, since real DOM is hidden behind WebGL textures
- you rely on modern framework ecosystems (React/Vue integrations) that this library does not provide
