    JavaScript 3D Library.

    Definitely ThreeJS and specifically React Three Fiber. React Three Fiber is an amazing wrapper around three that greatly reduces boilerplate. And because of how modular react is, the community has grown massively. With lots of helper components in the Drei library, and amazing examples in the author's Twitter. The Codesandbox is also a goldmine of example. And one of the best-produced courses by Bruno Simon to help you get started. He is the creator of this famous portfolio site.
