Client-side web-based conversion via WebAssembly or Emscripten

[pjcozzi]

I don't have any WebAssembly or Emscripten experience, but I suspect this will be difficult given the complexity of this project and all the third-party dependencies.

It would be a great research project if someone has the bandwidth.

Initial proof of concept here: https://taglang.io/blog/post/COLLADA2GLTF_with_Emscripten/

I will be putting the required fixes to make this work here and in OpenCOLLADA + it's dependencies a little bit at a time. Right now it's kind of a mess.

@lasalvavida how is the progress on this going? I am working on something where this would be useful so would love to contribute however I can.

Hi @cagucor! I've mostly been focusing the time I do have for this project on infrastructure upgrades (build system/CI) and this hasn't been worked on actively in a while.

If you just want something that works, you can grab the compiled WASM here and example integration from my blog.

If you're looking to help get this over the finish line, I'm happy to review PRs.
