gltf-rs is a Rust library for parsing and loading glTF 2.0 assets, the efficient and widely adopted format for 3D models and scenes. It provides a safe, idiomatic Rust interface to handle glTF files, supporting both JSON and binary (.glb) formats. The library allows developers to access geometry, materials, animations, and node hierarchies with ease, and is often used as a building block for game engines, renderers, and 3D tools written in Rust. With support for zero-copy data access and efficient iteration, it’s optimized for performance-critical applications.
