## What it is
xeogl is a data-driven WebGL-based JavaScript engine for interactive 3D visualization in the browser, aimed at CAD, BIM, and architectural visualization. It supports glTF, STL, and OBJ model loading with a component-based scene graph, but is no longer actively maintained.

## Use cases
- view 3D BIM models in the browser
- render glTF models with WebGL
- build interactive 3D CAD viewers
- create architectural visualization web demos
- add camera flythrough animations to 3D scenes
- display cross-sections and annotations on 3D models

## When to choose
- you need a dependency-free WebGL 3D engine for CAD/BIM/archviz viewing
- you're maintaining an existing project already built on xeogl
- you want a simple MIT-licensed library to learn WebGL scene graph design

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained engine - use the xeokit SDK instead
- you need modern WebGL2/WebGPU features or long-term support
- you're starting a new production project requiring bug fixes or security patches

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: graphics, data-visualization, image-processing
- domain: graphics, web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: webgl, 3d-engine, gltf, bim, cad, archviz, scene-graph, unmaintained, javascript, web-server
