About:
Glbinding is a lightweight C++ binding for the OpenGL API. It leverages the C++ type system and meta programming to provide type-safe parameters and safe pointer handling. The library offers lazy function resolving and multi-context support, making it a robust choice for modern graphics applications.

Key Features:

Type-safe parameter handling
Lazy function resolving
Multi-context support
Header-only and lightweight

Use Cases:

Developing cross-platform graphics applications
Building game engines requiring low-level OpenGL access
Creating tools that need robust OpenGL bindings

Alternatives:

GLEW – GLEW is a more established but older-style C binding, whereas Glbinding offers modern C++ features and type safety.
GLAD – GLAD generates loaders based on specific OpenGL versions/extensions, while Glbinding provides a comprehensive, runtime-configurable binding.
