HTML in Canvas API

For years, web developers have had to make a tough architectural choice when building complex, highly-interactive visual applications on the web/ Should you lean on the DOM for its rich semantic features or render directly to the canvas element for low-level graphics performance? With the new experimental HTML-in-Canvas API—available now in origin trial—you don't have to choose. This API lets you draw DOM content directly into a 2D canvas or a WebGL/WebGPU texture while keeping the UI interactable, accessible, and hooked up to your favorite browser features. By combining HTML with low-level graphics processing, you can create experiences that were previously impossible. How to use the API Using the API happens in three phases: Setting up your canvas, rendering into the canvas, and updating the CSS transform so the browser knows where the element physically sits on the screen. Prerequisites The HTML-in-Canvas API is in origin trial in Chrome 148 through 150.
