A legacy format originating in the CAD industry to exchange 2D vector data. | |
A proprietary 3D geometry exchange format with a freely available SDK. | |
A file-based database format used for vector and raster data. | |
A JSON-based 3D geometry delivery format. It supports modern materials (PBR) and geometry instancing and is supported by many desktop and web apps. | |
An open-source 3D geometry exchange format to describe building elements. | |
An XML-based exchange format used to describe GIS features on the globe. | |
A text-based legacy 3D model exchange format. | |
