==Alternatives== There are alternatives to the DirectX family of [[API]]s, with [[OpenGL]], its successor [[Vulkan]], [[Metal (API)|Metal]] and [[Mantle (API)|Mantle]] having the most features comparable to [[Direct3D]]. Examples of other APIs include [[Simple DirectMedia Layer|SDL]], [[Allegro (software library)|Allegro]], [[OpenMAX]], OpenML, [[OpenAL]], [[OpenCL]], [[FMOD]], [[Simple and Fast Multimedia Library|SFML]] etc. Many of these libraries are cross-platform or have open codebases. There are also alternative implementations that aim to provide the same API, such as the one in [[Wine (software)|Wine]]. Furthermore, the developers of [[ReactOS]] are trying to reimplement DirectX under the name "ReactX".
