Two.js is a renderer-agnostic two-dimensional drawing API for modern web browsers, letting the same code render via SVG, Canvas 2D, or WebGL. It provides a scenegraph, built-in animation loop, shape/text creation, bitmap image handling, and an SVG interpreter for importing artwork from tools like Adobe Illustrator.

Use cases

• draw animated 2D vector shapes in the browser
• render the same scene to svg, canvas, and webgl
• create flat motion graphics animations on the web
• import SVG artwork from Illustrator into a web scene
• build an interactive 2D visualization with a scenegraph
• animate sprites and image sequences in the browser

When to choose

• you need a lightweight 2D drawing library with multiple renderer backends
• you want simple shape creation and animation without a full game engine
• you need to import and manipulate SVG assets in a web scene
• you want a built-in requestAnimationFrame animation loop with a scenegraph

When to avoid

• you need 3D rendering (use three.js instead)
• you need high-performance rendering of tens of thousands of objects
• you need a full game engine with physics or input systems
• you need server-side rendering of graphics
