TinyGLTF
A header-only C++11 library for loading and saving glTF 2.0 assets, featuring a new C-centric v3 API for low-overhead performance.
What is TinyGLTF?
TinyGLTF is a header-only C++ library for loading and saving glTF 2.0 files, the standard format for 3D scenes and models. It solves the problem of integrating glTF support into C++ applications with minimal dependencies and overhead, providing both a traditional C++ API and a new low-level C API for maximum performance and control.
C++ developers working on game engines, graphics applications, or tools that need to import or export 3D assets in the glTF format, especially those targeting embedded systems, WebAssembly, or performance-critical environments.
Developers choose TinyGLTF for its simplicity, portability, and performance—it's a single-header library with no required external dependencies, supports a wide range of platforms, and offers a modern C API (v3) designed for zero-overhead parsing and easy language bindings.
