Wraps VBOs allowing for easy creation and usage. Vertex buffer objects are GPU buffers that store an array of data that OpenGL uses to render primitives.

This data is stored in the GPU's memory and can be accessed by the GPU without the need to send it from the CPU every time it is needed. It is stored contiguously as one array of floats, hence the layout of the data must be specified to OpenGL by the user through a vertex buffer layout.
