Description
OffscreenCanvas
OffscreenCanvas is a web API that enables rendering graphics in a separate thread, independent of the main browser UI thread. This feature is particularly useful for improving performance in web applications with heavy graphical computations, such as games or 3D visualizations.
Key Features:
- Allows rendering with WebGL, 2D, or other supported contexts off the main thread.
- Improves responsiveness by offloading rendering tasks.
- Compatible with Worker threads for parallel processing.
OffscreenCanvas is ideal for applications that demand smooth, high-performance rendering while maintaining a responsive user interface.
