web-ifc is a JavaScript/TypeScript library backed by a C++ WASM module for reading and writing IFC (BIM) files at native speeds. It is part of the That Open Company ecosystem for building open BIM applications.

Use cases

• parse IFC building model files in JavaScript
• extract geometry from IFC models for 3D rendering
• read and write BIM data in a web app
• load IFC files in Node.js at native speed
• convert IFC model properties to JSON
• build open-source BIM viewer applications

When to choose

• you need fast IFC parsing/writing in JavaScript or TypeScript
• you are building a web or Node.js BIM application
• you want an open-source alternative to proprietary IFC toolkits

When to avoid

• you need to process formats other than IFC
• you need a full BIM authoring tool rather than a parsing library
• your environment cannot run WASM modules
