MelonJS

melonjs
MelonJS is the result of our enthusiasm and past experiments with Javascript, and came from the feeling that no simple, free and standalone library was available to develop games. And although still a work in progress, melonJS already allows to easily create some nice games.
 
Turbulenz Engine

The engine libraries are implemented in optimised JavaScript supporting rapid iteration of game code and data. The engine executes directly in the browser and includes many features.
 
Three.js

It does a really great job of abstracting away the headaches of getting going with 3D in the browser. With it you can create cameras, objects, lights, materials and more, and you have a choice of renderer, which means you can decide if you want your scene to be drawn using HTML 5’s canvas, WebGL or SVG. And since it’s open source you could even get involved with the project.
