Install

Every package is versioned and released on its own. The table is generated from the crate manifests and changelogs, so it always shows the latest release recorded on main.

Language	Package	Latest release	Install	Requires	Reference
Rust	openbim-ifcx	0.1.1 (2026-10-03)	cargo add openbim-ifcx	Rust 1.88.0	openbim-ifcx
Rust	openbim-ifcx-geometry	0.1.1 (2026-10-03)	cargo add openbim-ifcx-geometry	Rust 1.88.0	openbim-ifcx-geometry
Python	openbim-ifcx	0.1.2 (2026-10-03)	pip install openbim-ifcx	Python >=3.9	openbim-ifcx-py
JavaScript / TypeScript	@openbim/ifcx	0.2.1 (2026-10-03)	npm install @openbim/ifcx	Node >=18, or a current browser	openbim-ifcx-wasm

Rust

cargo add openbim-ifcx                  # read, write, compose, validate
cargo add openbim-ifcx-geometry         # render scene and GLB export
cargo add openbim-ifcx --features fs    # also: load imports from local files

openbim-ifcx has two features: integrity (default) checks the SHA-2 integrity value of an import, and fs adds FsResolver, which loads imports from disk. The crates never use the network. See the openbim-ifcx reference.

JavaScript and TypeScript

npm install @openbim/ifcx

One package for Node 18 and later, bundlers and plain browser pages, with TypeScript declarations. In Node, require or import it; a bundler gets the bundler build; a page without a bundler (or Vite) imports @openbim/ifcx/web and awaits init() once. The JavaScript guide shows each.

Python

pip install openbim-ifcx

One abi3 wheel for CPython 3.9 and later on Linux (x86_64, aarch64), macOS (universal2) and Windows (x64), and an sdist that builds with Rust and maturin. The package ships type hints.
