It's nicer to refer to this in code as `gpu`. Additionally, `webgpu` as a name gives the impression this is for web only which is absolutely not true but could understandably be very confusing to newcomers. Solve both problems by renaming to just `gpu`, and (next) updating the README to indicate what it does and why, then explain it's WebGPU after as more of an implementation detail.

# WebGPU for Zig <a href="https://hexops.com"><img align="right" alt="Hexops logo" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hexops/media/master/readme.svg"></img></a>

Idiomatic [Zig](https://ziglang.org) bindings to [WebGPU](https://gpuweb.github.io/gpuweb), the up-and-coming API which allows for unified access to low-level graphics APIs like Vulkan, Metal, and D3D12 across web, desktop, and mobile devices.
|
|
|
|
This library is _truly cross platform_, allowing you to use the same graphics API **in the web** or **natively** (desktop & mobile):
|
|
|
|
- **WebAssembly targets**: Uses the browser's provided WebGPU API.
|
|
- **Native targets:** supports multiple WebGPU backend implementations:
|
|
- [Dawn](https://dawn.googlesource.com/dawn), Chrome's C++ implementation of WebGPU.
|
|
- [gfx-rs/wgpu-native](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-native), the Rust implementation of WebGPU.

## webgpu.h version
|
|
|
|
Both [Dawn](https://dawn.googlesource.com/dawn) and [gfx-rs/wgpu-native](https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu-native) implement a shared common C header, [webgpu.h](https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers) which maps 1:1 with the WebGPU IDL specification.
|
|
|
|
You can find the version of `webgpu.h` currently targeted by this library [here](https://github.com/webgpu-native/webgpu-headers/tree/c8e0b39f6f6f1edded5c4adf7d46aa4d2a95befe).
