cpp_mingltf - Minimal glTF Library in C++20

Minimal glTF Serializer/Parser in C++20 for Game Development

A high-performance, header-only glTF parser and serializer library designed for C++20. This library is optimized for real-time applications, such as game development, where speed and low memory overhead are crucial.

Overview

A minimal and efficient C++20 glTF serializer/deserializer with a header-only design philosophy and a functional programming approach. This project includes:

• A basic glTF parser and serializer/deserializer.
• Example usage with a demo application.
• Support for cross-platform compatibility using modern C++ standards.

How to Build

To build the project using CMake:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Usage

Run the demo application:

./GltfDemo

This will load the example glTF model from the /models directory and display its node information.

Dependencies

Autodidac/CppMinimalJSON (header-only JSON library)
