WebGLVertexArrayObject

{{APIRef("WebGL")}} {{AvailableInWorkers}} 

The WebGLVertexArrayObject interface is part of the WebGL 2 API, represents vertex array objects (VAOs) pointing to vertex array data, and provides names for different sets of vertex data.

{{InheritanceDiagram}} 

When working with WebGLVertexArrayObject objects, the following methods are useful:

• {{domxref("WebGL2RenderingContext.createVertexArray()")}} 
• {{domxref("WebGL2RenderingContext.deleteVertexArray()")}} 
• {{domxref("WebGL2RenderingContext.isVertexArray()")}} 
• {{domxref("WebGL2RenderingContext.bindVertexArray()")}} 

[!NOTE] The {{domxref("OES_vertex_array_object")}}  extension allows you to use vertex array objects in a WebGL 1 context.

Examples

const vao = gl.createVertexArray();
gl.bindVertexArray(vao);

// …

// calls to bindBuffer or vertexAttribPointer
// which will be "recorded" in the VAO

// …
