three.js seems to have lots of support. Other libraries seem to be good for specialized applications such as games etc. but for our purposes three might be best.

I check on google. It looks like there are two popular webGL wireframe

I am reading some articles about the comparison between them. It looks like three.js is a better fit for our project.

While Three.js was designed as a tool for general purpose web animations, Babylon.js was designed to take a more targeted approach for web-based game development and uses an extensive physics engine for collision detection and other intricacies involved for 3D graphics.

For reference
