cgltf is a single-file, stb-style C99 library for parsing and writing glTF 2.0 and GLB 3D asset files. It is widely adopted in graphics engines and tools such as bgfx, Filament, and raylib.
Use cases
- load gltf models in c
- parse glb files in c99
- write gltf files programmatically
- single header 3d asset loader
- load 3d scenes for a game engine
- decode base64 embedded gltf buffers
When to choose
- you need a lightweight, dependency-free glTF 2.0 loader in C or C++
- you want stb-style single-header integration
- you need both reading and writing of glTF/GLB files
- you target embedded or cross-platform environments
When to avoid
- you need automatic loading of external buffer and image files
- you want a high-level scene graph or rendering features
- you prefer a C++ or higher-level language library with more abstractions
