GLFW has merged proper support for client-side window decorations on Wayland!
If you find the list "odd" feel free to change it on Wikipedia. Also Mir is literally a Wayland compositor as stated by the git repo. To my limited understanding (I never done anything with it, I only saw it on the Wikipedia list) it's quite similar to wlroots.

How X Window Managers Work, and How to Write One
People have already mentioned wlroots as a starting point, but there is a less opinionated and more compatible (NVIDIA-ready) library that I’m really quite fond of called Mir: https://github.com/MirServer/mir
One thing to note, Wayland, unlike X, does not support server side decorations yet, so compositor’s responsibilities are mostly just placing windows.
