EGL (Embedded-System Graphics Library) is an interface between rendering APIs like OpenGL ES or Vulkan and the native platform window system. It handles context management, surface binding, and rendering synchronization, enabling graphics rendering on various devices such as smartphones, tablets, and embedded systems.

About Egl
EGL was developed to provide a standardized interface for graphics rendering on embedded systems. It emerged around the early 2000s, driven by the need to support OpenGL ES and other graphics APIs on various platforms. The Khronos Group, which also managed OpenGL and Vulkan standards, oversaw its development to ensure compatibility and performance across different devices and operating systems.
EGL's strengths include its ability to support multiple rendering APIs, cross-platform compatibility, and efficient management of graphics contexts and surfaces. Its weaknesses are complexity in setup and potential performance overhead on some platforms. Competitors include Direct3D on Windows systems, Metal on Apple devices, and Vulkan's WSI (Window System Integration) extensions.
