About:
wgpu-native provides a C API binding for the wgpu-core graphics library, enabling native applications to access the WebGPU standard. It serves as a foundational layer for high-performance graphics and compute operations across multiple backends. This allows developers to build cross-platform GPU applications with modern, safe, and efficient APIs.

Key Features:

C API for WebGPU
Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Safe and performant Rust core
Vulkan, Metal, and DirectX 12 backends

Use Cases:

Building native game engines with WebGPU
Creating high-performance compute applications
Developing cross-platform graphics tools

Alternatives:

vulkan-tutorial-rs – Focuses on raw Vulkan API, whereas wgpu-native provides a higher-level, cross-platform WebGPU abstraction.
wgpu-rs – Provides a Rust-native API, while wgpu-native specifically offers the C FFI bindings for other languages.
