Load models via bin files in webgl?

Question

I see an example where the data was in text inside an array, i seen another where someone loads the model through ajax with json.

Is there a way to load the files via binary? i dont feel like loading a 1mb model via 4mb json

Answer 1

It is certainly possible to load binary files.

But the problem is after that. That you need to know what format it is in. And extract everything from there.
