    Define what you mean by BEST, and perhaps it will be possible to answer your question. For example, if best involves "being able to run on non-Windows platform" then DirectX goes out the window (pun intended).

    Is there an interface called API? In general, that acronym stands for INTERFACE in itself (Application Programming Interface).

    I suggest API, i.e., learn the programming interface of whatever library you need to use

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.
