glTF/glb (version 2.0) is a JSON-based 3D geometry delivery format. It supports modern materials (PBR) and geometry instancing and is supported by many desktop and web apps. It is a recommended exchange format for new projects.
The glb file format variant is a binary form of glTF that inlines textures instead of referencing them as external images.
For details, see the KhronosGroup GitHub page.
