The AJAX loader was developed to display three-dimensional models of various chemical molecules in a browser by means of the latest WebGL technology. The application works with the programme Tinker, takes the information from its files with the extension .xyz, in which three-dimensional atomic coordinates’ data is stored, and by means of them constructs a three-dimensional model of a molecule with WebGL. The developed algorithm is demonstrated on molecules of ethanol, benzene, propane etc., it is universal for all kinds of files in this format. Using the library Three. js makes the work with Three.js easier. One of the WebGL-applications’ features is the possibility of viewing ready models directly in a browser without installation of any additional software. The results of the work one can use, for example, to demonstrate a structure of molecules during chemistry lessons, and to create WebGL-applications.
