GLFW: Multi-Platform Library for OpenGL, Vulkan & Input

Summary

GLFW (Graphics Library Framework) is a C library primarily used for creating windows with OpenGL contexts, handling input, and other system-level operations required for graphics applications. It's widely adopted in game development, graphics demos, and scientific visualization.

Problem Solved

Creating windows, setting up graphics contexts, and managing user input are foundational tasks in graphics applications but involve significant boilerplate code specific to each operating system. GLFW abstracts these complexities, providing a simple, consistent API.
