What Graphics APIs are out there?




I learned the basics of java a few years ago and I decided to pick it back up. My main interest is game development, and I want more than a text-based adventure. I've searched the internet and found a few different APIs for implementing graphics. Swing, JavaFX, and LWJGL are the ones I've encountered thus far. Out of the three, LWJGL seems the one most suited for games. However, I am specifically looking at developing a game for Android and it doesn't seem like LWJGL or JavaFX are compatible with android in their vanilla form.




So my question is: what other Graphics APIs are there? Are some better suited for game development than others?
