Modern and easy-to-use library for Vulkan
A modern and easy-to-use library for the Vulkan® API
lava provides essentials for low-level graphics - suited for prototyping, tooling, profiling and education.
This lean framework is written in neat C++23 and it strives for a modular rolling release as far as possible. We don't want to promise too much... but lava runs really smoothly on Windows and Linux.
