AFAIK those library headers are just historical artifacts from a time when those library didn't have official Emscripten ports, and which today are only reluctantly maintained if at all.
Emscripten's web API wrappers make a lot of sense though, and the other unique feature is the 'inline Javascript' support (so you don't need to maintain the Javascript glue code in separate .js source files).
- slimsag 4y agointeresting; I didn't realize libraries were adding official emscripten ports using the emscripten APIs. That's definitely a level up in my eyes, then.
- flohofwoe 4y agoAt least SDL2 has 'proper' Emscripten support: https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/README/emscripten https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/README/emscripten My own cross-platform headers too: https://github.com/floooh/sokol https://github.com/floooh/sokol ...there are also auto-generated Zig bindings btw ;) https://github.com/floooh/sokol-zig https://github.com/floooh/sokol-zig
