IFC.js

IFC.js is a free library for reading IFC data and loading information and geometry into memory. This allows, among other things, to convert any web browser into an IFC viewer and work with its information easily. The library is built on Three.js, so the geometry generated is completely customizable (color, transparencies, edges, etc). All IFC parameters are easily accessible from the geometry and vice versa.

Since the library is 100% JavaScript, it is possible to create BIM applications running on the client side, without depending on communication with a server. However, it is also possible to create server applications based on Node.js and native applications with Electron, React Native, etc.
