Understand more about WebXR and get started as a WebXR developer.
Game toolkits
The game toolkits are designed for game developers and often include gaming-specific features such as physics models, input control systems, asset management, 3D sound playback, and the like.
A game engine designed for WebXR and 3D on the web. It provides an efficient workflow, helps manage scene complexity, optimizes your assets for you and its WebAssembly runtime optimizes rendering specifically for the web. Custom components/gamelogic are written in JavaScript.
The 0.9.5 was released in December 2022, adding more really powerful capabilities.

PlayCanvas is an open-source 3D game engine/interactive 3D application engine alongside a proprietary cloud-hosted creation platform that allows for simultaneous editing from multiple computers via a browser-based interface.
General-purpose 3D frameworks
These frameworks are good for general-purpose programming as well as for game development when you want to do the logic yourself. They're designed for creating and animating 3D scenes regardless of context.

An excellent guide from Construct Arcade to understand it all.
“Frameworks”, “engines” or “development platforms” help you build WebXR apps easier and faster.
Frameworks contain a lot of JavaScript code that is needed often for easy reuse.
Engines on top of that offer toolsets that may not even require you to write a single line of code, but may be less flexible and less tailored to your specific WebXR app.
