-In general, there are 3 classes of API's important for the WASM application:
-- Built-in API's: WAMR provides a minimal API set for developers.
-- 3rd party API's: Programmer can download and include any 3rd party C source code and add it into their own WASM app source tree.
-- Platform native API's: WAMR provides a mechanism to export a native API to the WASM application.

WGL is implemented based on LittlevGL, an open-source embedded 2d graphic library. LittlevGL source code is built into the WAMR runtime and exported to Webassembly application with WGL extension. These extension API's are listed in: `<wamr_root>/core/iwasm/lib/app-libs/extension/gui/wgl.h`. Currently only a small set of API's  are provided and that would be extended in future.

+WGL implemention is based on [LittlevGL](https://github.com/littlevgl/), an open-source embedded 2d graphic library. Comparing the building the LittlevGL into WASM bytecode in the [littlevgl](../littlevgl) sample, WGL compiled LittlevGL source code into the WAMR runtime and defined a wrapper API for exporting to Webassembly application. These extension API's are listed in: `<wamr_root>/core/iwasm/lib/app-libs/extension/gui/wgl.h`. Currently only a small set of API's  are provided and that would be extended in future.

 The runtime component supports building target for Linux and Zephyr/STM Nucleo board. The beauty of this sample is the WebAssembly application can have identical display and behavior when running from both runtime environments. That implies we can do majority of application validation from desktop environment as long as two runtime distributions support the same set of application interface.
 
-The sample also provides the native Linux version of application without the runtime under folder "lvgl-native-ui-app". It can help to check differences between the implementations in native and WebAssembly.
