Streamline STEP to JSON conversion

[ghemingway]

STEP -> XML -> JSON via the application
Framework to enable other formats to be converted to our JSON

I want to do the conversion code that can help achieve this.

It will work similar to http://www.steptools.com/demos/ stpidx tools.

can you suggest any resources to get started?

I am actually just starting into this shortly. For now the STEP code is closed source, but I have been offered the chance to extend it to directly support our JSON/Typed JSON formats.

can I help? I want to get this done. I compared a .stp and corresponding .xml, but couldn't figure out the conversion process. I cannot understand the structure of the STEP file.

@ghemingway I found this on steptools that converts stp to webxml https://github.com/steptools/stp2webgl . I am curious, how were you going to write the framework for the conversion? I am very interested to help out
