Pixi.js

Pixi.js is a high-performance 2D graphics engine used to render interactive animations, sprites, and visual effects in web browsers. It functions as a WebGL 2D rendering engine and HTML5 graphics library designed to produce high-performance two-dimensional visuals.

The project operates as a 2D sprite framework and a web-based visual effects engine, providing tools to apply filters, blend modes, and masks to real-time graphics. It also serves as an interactive web canvas API for handling multi-touch and mouse input to build responsive graphical user interfaces.

The framework covers a broad set of capabilities, including asset management for external media, the rendering of text and geometric shapes, and dynamic texture management. It also provides systems for processing visual effects and handling user input.
