Dxf Parser is a javascript parser for dxf files. It reads dxf files into one large javascript object with readable properties and a more logical structure.
Also, keep an eye on three-dxf, a browser module for rendering the output of Dxf-Parser in the browser.
npm install dxf-parser
# or
bower install dxf-parser
Browsers -- As of 0.1.3 standalone browserify version is in the dist/ folder. Copy it out of the install directory or just download it from the GitHub repo directly. We may evetually publish this to bower, but the build environment needs a little work first.
// Grab fileText in node.js or browser
var fileText = ...;
var parser = new DxfParser();
try {
var dxf = parser.parseSync(fileText);
}catch(err) {
return console.error(err.stack);
}
See the wiki Example Output page to get an idea of what the results look like.
