Wayland doesn't provide a rendering mechanism at all; the client
provides buffers (using an interface like wl_drm or wl_shm) to the
Wayland compositor. How the client renders to those buffers is up to it.

As above; Wayland isn't, the client is. You can see how the demo clients
do this in clients/window.c - specifically
display_create_egl_window_surface and display_create_shm_window_surface

Most of the stuff in the clients/ subdirectory of weston renders with
Cairo.
