# Header only C++ tiny glTF library(loader/saver).
`TinyGLTF` is a header only C++11 glTF 2.0 https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF library.
## Status
Work in process(`devel` branch). Very near to release, but need more tests and examples.
`TinyGLTF` uses Niels Lohmann's json library(https://github.com/nlohmann/json), so now it requires C++11 compiler.
If you are looking for old, C++03 version, please use `devel-picojson` branch.
## Builds
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/syoyo/tinygltf.svg?branch=devel)](https://travis-ci.org/syoyo/tinygltf)
[![Build status](https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/status/warngenu9wjjhlm8?svg=true)](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/syoyo/tinygltf)
## Features
* Written in portable C++. C++-11 with STL dependency only.
* [x] macOS + clang(LLVM)
* [x] iOS + clang
* [x] Linux + gcc/clang
* [x] Windows + MinGW
* [x] Windows + Visual Studio 2015 or later.
* Visual Studio 2013 is not supported since they have limited C++11 support and failed to compile `json.hpp`.
* [x] Android + CrystaX(NDK drop-in replacement) GCC
* [x] Web using Emscripten(LLVM)
* Moderate parsing time and memory consumption.
* glTF specification v2.0.0
* [x] ASCII glTF
* [x] Binary glTF(GLB)
* [x] PBR material description
* Buffers
* [x] Parse BASE64 encoded embedded buffer fata(DataURI).
* [x] Load `.bin` file.
* Image(Using stb_image)
* [x] Parse BASE64 encoded embedded image fata(DataURI).
* [x] Load external image file.
* [x] PNG(8bit only)
* [x] JPEG(8bit only)
* [x] BMP
* [x] GIF
## Examples
* [glview](examples/glview) : Simple glTF geometry viewer.
* [validator](examples/validator) : Simple glTF validator with JSON schema.
## TODOs
* [ ] Write C++ code generator from json schema for robust parsing.
* [x] Serialization
* [ ] Compression/decompression(Open3DGC, etc)
* [ ] Support `extensions` and `extras` property
* [ ] HDR image?
* [ ] Write tests for `animation` and `skin`

## Build and example
Copy `stb_image.h`, `json.hpp` and `tiny_gltf.h` to your project.
### Loading glTF 2.0 model
```c++
// Define these only in *one* .cc file.
#define TINYGLTF_IMPLEMENTATION
#define STB_IMAGE_IMPLEMENTATION
// #define TINYGLTF_NOEXCEPTION // optional. disable exception handling.
#include "tiny_gltf.h"
using namespace tinygltf;
Model model;
TinyGLTF loader;
std::string err;
bool ret = loader.LoadASCIIFromFile(&model, &err, argv[1]);
//bool ret = loader.LoadBinaryFromFile(&model, &err, argv[1]); // for binary glTF(.glb)
if (!err.empty()) {
printf("Err: %s\n", err.c_str());
}
if (!ret) {
printf("Failed to parse glTF\n");
return -1;
}
```
## Compile options
* `TINYGLTF_NOEXCEPTION` : Disable C++ exception in JSON parsing. You can use `-fno-exceptions` or by defining the symbol `JSON_NOEXCEPTION` and `TINYGLTF_NOEXCEPTION` to fully remove C++ exception codes when compiling TinyGLTF.
* `TINYGLTF_NO_STB_IMAGE` : Do not load images with stb_image. Instead use `TinyGLTF::SetImageLoader(LoadimageDataFunction LoadImageData, void *user_data)` to set a callback for loading images.
### Saving gltTF 2.0 model
T.B.W.
## Running tests.
### glTF parsing test
#### Setup
Python 2.6 or 2.7 required.
Git clone https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Models to your local dir.
#### Run parsing test
After building `loader_example`, edit `test_runner.py`, then,
```bash
$ python test_runner.py
```
### Unit tests
```bash
$ cd tests
$ make
$ ./tester
$ ./tester_noexcept
```
