    This is an experimental technology
    Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.

    var vao = gl.createVertexArray();
gl.bindVertexArray(vao);

// calls to bindBuffer or vertexAttribPointer 
// which will be "recorded" in the VAO
