Vulkan/GL/GLES/EGL/GLX/WGL Loader-Generator based on the official specificationsfor multiple languages.

Check out thewebservice for glad2 to generate the files you need!

NOTE: This is the 2.0 branch, which adds more functionality but changes the API.

Some languages are only available in theglad1 generator.
