Mesa implements various APIs, including `OpenGL`_, `OpenGL ES`_,
`Vulkan`_ and `OpenCL`_. Even though Mesa implements these APIs, the
implementation isn't formally conformant on all combinations of drivers
and hardware. `Khronos`_ maintains lists of conformant implementations
for each of their APIs, as well as `trademark details`_.

This project is called *Mesa*, *Mesa3D*, or *The Mesa 3-D graphics library*.
