LibGDX backends
LibGDX makes use of several other libraries to interface the specifics of each platform
in order to provide cross-platform support for your applications. Generally, a backend
is what enables LibgGDX to access the corresponding platform functionalities when
one of the abstracted (platform-independent) LibGDX methods is called; for example,
drawing an image in the upper-left corner of the screen, playing a sound file at a
volume of 80 percent, or reading and writing from/to a file.
LibGDX currently provides the following four backends:
• Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL)
• Android
• JavaScript/WebGL
• iOS/RoboVM
