Is Three.js the same as WebGL?

The question is about Three.js

Answer:

Three.js is not the same thing as WebGL. It’s a higher level, a JavaScript library built on top of WebGL. If WebGL is actually a low-level API used to render 2D and 3D graphics inside the browser, then Three.js simplifies this with easier tools and functions to create 3D scenes and their animation from this very core of WebGL, hence easing its usage for a developer.
