In the ever-evolving landscape of web technologies, WebAssembly (WASM) has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing performance and capabilities in web applications. At xeokit, we are excited to announce the integration of cxConverter and a new WASM loader into our ecosystem, aimed at improving the handling of large BIM and CAD models.
🔎 How to search IFC metadata without downloading gigabytes of data?
At xeoVision, we’ve developed an innovative approach to on-demand property set loading.
👉 Extracting metadata to JSON
👉 Converting it into lightweight SQLite databases
👉 Remotely reading data chunk by chunk from object storage
This allows even very large IFC models to be searched quickly, efficiently, and without heavy network loads.
📖 In the article, I explain the entire process — from cxconverter to remote VFS and data transfer optimization.
