## What it is
Miniquad is a lightweight cross-platform graphics and window context library for Rust, abstracting OpenGL, Metal, and WebGL behind a single API. It is designed with a minimal dependency tree to run on desktop, mobile, and web targets.

## Use cases
- draw graphics with rust on any platform
- create a window and render in rust
- build a 2d game engine in rust
- render to webgl from rust with wasm
- minimal dependency graphics library for rust
- cross-platform opengl abstraction in rust

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, low-level rendering layer without heavy dependencies
- you want one codebase targeting desktop, mobile, and wasm/webgl
- you are building your own game engine or rendering framework on top of a minimal base

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured engine with sprites, audio, and asset pipelines out of the box
- you need modern low-level APIs like Vulkan or DirectX 12
- you want high-level scene graph or UI abstractions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: graphics, game-engine
- domain: graphics, cross-platform
- platform: rust, windows, wasm, cross-platform
- tags: opengl, metal, webgl, windowing, rendering, gamedev, minimal-dependencies, game-development, linux, macos, ios, android
