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

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

// …

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

// …
