Actively maintained and growing. We're building OpenGeometry in the open. APIs, examples, and package structure are evolving, and we are actively improving and expanding the project. Star the repo to follow along. If you have questions or want to get involved, join the Discord or check out the issues.
Version note. This README describes OpenGeometry 3.0.0. Check which line you have installed with
npm ls opengeometry: the 2.0 line has a different API. The documentation at docs.opengeometry.io describes 3.0.
OpenGeometry is an open-source CAD kernel for the web. It models B-rep solids with exact planes, cylinders, spheres, cones and tori, runs boolean operations (union, subtract, intersect), builds solids by extrude, sweep and revolve, hollows them with shell, and writes STEP files that other CAD and CAM tools open. The kernel is written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly. A TypeScript SDK for Three.js puts every body straight into your scene, and the same calls run in Node.js with no browser.
It is the geometry engine, not a CAD application: you build the product, OpenGeometry does the solid modelling. The same calls give the same shape every time, so an app, a script or an AI agent can drive it and check the result with exact queries: volume, area, bounds, validity, and whether a point is inside.
| Field | What you build | What OpenGeometry gives you |
|---|---|---|
| Product configurators and e-commerce | A shopper picks sizes and options and sees the exact part, then orders it | Parametric primitives that rebuild in place, booleans for cut-outs, STEP for the factory |
| Mechanical parts and enclosures | Plates, brackets, housings, flanges, pipe parts | Rounded boxes, slots, cylinders, pipe segments, through-holes in one call, shell for walls, STEP in millimetres |
| Manufacturing and fabrication | Web tools that turn an order into a production file | Exact B-rep, valid and closed solids, STEP export with an export report |
| Architecture, construction and interiors | Walls, openings, slabs, furniture, MEP parts | Polysolid walls along a path, extrude with holes, sweeps along arcs, the IFC exchange body for an IFC writer |
| Robotics and automation | Fixtures, grippers, end-of-arm tools, work-cell layouts | Assemblies with placements, point-inside tests, measured volume, picking down to face and edge |
| AI agents and prompt-to-CAD | An agent that turns a request into a part, then checks it | Plain JSON parameters, deterministic results, validity() and measure() to verify, typed errors with a code |
| Education and geometry tools | Teaching solids, booleans and B-rep in a browser tab | Open source, runs client-side, the B-rep of every body is readable |
| Server-side generation | A Node.js service that makes STEP files from parameters | The same API in Node, with inline tessellation and no browser |
Floorkit, a toolkit for building design, is one application built on OpenGeometry.
| Area | What 3.0 has |
|---|---|
| Primitives | Wires: rectangle, circle, polyline (open or closed), line-and-arc profile, arc, regular polygon, slot, rounded rectangle. Solids: cuboid, cylinder, cylinder sector, sphere, cone or frustum, ring torus, planar polyhedron, slot prism, rounded box, pipe segment, polysolid wall along a path of straight legs and tangent arcs. Each can be placed on any plane. |
| Operations | Extrude a closed wire into a solid, with holes. Sweep a profile along an open or closed path of lines and arcs, each arc an exact bend, capped into a solid, open-ended into a sheet, or closed into a ring. Revolve a closed line-and-arc profile a full turn about an axis in its plane. Shell a solid into a hollow one with walls of one thickness. Union, subtract and intersect, with one to a hundred tool solids in one call. |
| Parametric edits | rebuild gives an existing body new parameters in place. mirror rebuilds a body as its reflection across a plane. |
| Assemblies | Assemblies with parent and child placement; translate, rotate, scale and place; independent copies and shared instances. |
| History | Marks with rollback and release; transactions, with a dry-run option. |
| Display for Three.js | Every body is a THREE.Group. Level of detail that follows the camera, tessellation in a web worker or inline, picking down to face and edge, outlines, colour and opacity. |
| Queries | Bounds, placements, the B-rep of a body, that B-rep placed in the world, the normal of a face at a point, whether a point is inside, volume and area within a stated error bound, whether a body is valid and closed, and the report of its last boolean. |
| Export | STEP, in millimetres or metres, with Y or Z up, together with an export report. The IFC exchange body of a solid, in world metres with Z up, for an IFC writer. |
Not in 3.0, though 2.0 had them: IFC file text and STL export; projection; loft; triangulation as a public call; curves other than lines, circles, arcs and polylines, such as the elliptical arc; and the 2.0 classes such as Cuboid, Polygon, Opening and Vector3. 3.0 has no spline, no ellipse and no elliptical arc. Build a wedge as a five-face OG_PRIMITIVE_POLYHEDRON, and a 2.0 Curve as an OG_PRIMITIVE_POLYLINE wire through its points.
npm install opengeometry threethreeis a peer dependency: versions>=0.168.0 <0.185.0are supported.- The package is ES modules only, and its TypeScript types are included. They use the types of
three, whichthreedoes not ship: in a TypeScript project, also runnpm install --save-dev @types/three. - The package ships
opengeometry_bg.wasm(the kernel) andtessellation-worker.js(the display worker), and your page must be able to fetch both. With no arguments,OpenGeometry.create()looks for them next to the package's ownindex.js. If your bundler moves or rewritesindex.jswithout the two files, that lookup fails, so the dependable way is the one the quick start uses: copy both files fromnode_modules/opengeometry/into the folder your site serves at its root (in Vite, thepublic/folder by default) and pass their URLs tocreate.
import * as THREE from 'three';
import {
OpenGeometry, Solid,
OG_OPERATION_SUBTRACT, OG_PRIMITIVE_CYLINDER, OG_PRIMITIVE_ROUNDED_BOX, OG_TRANSFORM_TRANSLATE,
} from 'opengeometry';
await OpenGeometry.create({ wasmURL: '/opengeometry_bg.wasm' }, { workerURL: '/tessellation-worker.js' });
const plate = new Solid(OG_PRIMITIVE_ROUNDED_BOX, { width: 0.12, height: 0.01, depth: 0.08, radius: 0.01 });
const holes = [[-0.045, -0.025], [0.045, -0.025], [-0.045, 0.025], [0.045, 0.025]].map(([x, z]) => {
const hole = new Solid(OG_PRIMITIVE_CYLINDER, { radius: 0.004, height: 0.02 });
hole.transform(OG_TRANSFORM_TRANSLATE, { offset: [x, -0.005, z] });
return hole;
});
plate.operate(OG_OPERATION_SUBTRACT, { tools: holes });
const scene = new THREE.Scene();
scene.add(new THREE.HemisphereLight(0xffffff, 0x444444, 2), plate);
const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(50, innerWidth / innerHeight, 0.001, 10);
camera.position.set(0.12, 0.1, 0.14);
camera.lookAt(0, 0, 0);
const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ antialias: true });
renderer.setSize(innerWidth, innerHeight);
document.body.append(renderer.domElement);
renderer.setAnimationLoop(() => renderer.render(scene, camera));
const { text, report } = await OpenGeometry.exportStep({ nodes: [plate], unit: 'millimetre', upAxis: 'Z' });This loads the kernel and makes a 120 mm by 80 mm mounting plate, 10 mm thick, with rounded corners (model units are metres). It drills four 8 mm bolt holes through the plate with one boolean call: the four cylinders are the tools. The plate is a THREE.Group, so it goes into the scene like any other object and is drawn on every frame. The last line writes the plate as a STEP file in millimetres, ready for a CAD or CAM tool: text is the file and report counts what was written.
The two URLs assume both files were copied to the site root, as described under Installation. The block uses top-level await, so it must run as a module. If your build rejects top-level await, raise its target (the examples set Vite's build.target to 'esnext') or move the code after the imports into an async function and call it.
Runnable examples live in main/opengeometry-three/examples-vite/. Shapes: cuboid, cylinder, slot prism, rounded box, pipe segment, polysolid wall, the regular polygon, slot and rounded rectangle wires, and a rounded section. Operations: booleans, an opening, a sweep, a sweep along an arc path, a curved profile united with a straight one, and STEP export. From a clone, run npm --prefix main ci, npm run build and then npm run dev-example.
Interactive demos run the kernel in your browser, with nothing to install: demos.opengeometry.io.
- You need a desktop CAD application. OpenGeometry is a library you embed.
- You only show meshes you already have. Plain Three.js is enough.
- You need splines, ellipses, lofts, fillets or STL export. 3.0 does not have them.
OpenGeometry is built to be driven by code, including code an agent writes. Every call takes plain parameters, gives the same shape for the same input, and can be checked with validity(), measure(), getBounds() and classifyPoint().
- llms.txt: an index of every documentation page, in Markdown, for a model's context.
- Use a coding agent: the 3.0 rules that agents get wrong most often, and the sources to trust.
index.d.tsin the installed package: every export and its types.- The reference below: the whole public surface on one page.
This is a compact reference for writing OpenGeometry 3.0 code, by hand or with a coding assistant.
Package. opengeometry on npm. ES modules only, types included, peer dependency three >=0.168.0 <0.185.0.
Which line is installed. The 3.0 entry exports OpenGeometry.create, Solid and Wire. Code that uses Cuboid, Vector3 or setPlacement is written for 2.0 and does not work with 3.0. The version in node_modules/opengeometry/package.json settles it.
The whole public surface. The entry exports OpenGeometry, Solid, Sheet, Wire, SystemAssembly, OGMark, OGError and the OG_* constants. Every point and vector is [x, y, z]. Model units are metres, and Y is up.
| Export | Call and parameters |
|---|---|
OpenGeometry.create |
await OpenGeometry.create(input?, options?). input: { wasmURL?, wasmModule? }. options: { workerURL?, tessellation?: 'worker' | 'inline' }. |
Wire |
new Wire(kind, params, options?). OG_PRIMITIVE_RECTANGLE { width, breadth }, OG_PRIMITIVE_CIRCLE { radius }, OG_PRIMITIVE_POLYLINE { points, closed? }, OG_PRIMITIVE_REGULAR_POLYGON { sides, radius } (3 to 1024 corners on a circle about the plane origin, the first on the x direction), OG_PRIMITIVE_SLOT { length, width } (the outline of OG_PRIMITIVE_SLOT_PRISM), OG_PRIMITIVE_ROUNDED_RECTANGLE { width, breadth, radius } (a rectangle with rounded corners; radius below half the width and half the breadth). |
| Profile wire | new Wire(OG_PRIMITIVE_PROFILE, { start, segments, closed }, options?). Points are [u, v] in plane; a segment is { to } for a line or { to, arc: { center, counterClockwise } } for an arc. A closed profile is an extrude profile or hole. |
| Arc wire | new Wire(OG_PRIMITIVE_ARC, { radius, startAngle, sweepAngle }, options?). Angles in radians from the plane x direction, centred on the plane origin; the sweep is nonzero and less than one turn. |
Solid |
new Solid(kind, params, options?). OG_PRIMITIVE_CUBOID { width, height, depth }, OG_PRIMITIVE_CYLINDER { radius, height }, OG_PRIMITIVE_CYLINDER_SECTOR { radius, height, startAngle, sweepAngle } (radians from the plane x direction, counter-clockwise seen from the side the normal points to; sweep nonzero and less than one turn), OG_PRIMITIVE_POLYHEDRON { points, faces } (planar faces as rings of point indices, counter-clockwise seen from outside), OG_PRIMITIVE_SPHERE { radius } (centred on the plane origin), OG_PRIMITIVE_CONE { radiusBottom, radiusTop, height } (standing on the plane; one radius may be zero, equal radii make a cylinder), OG_PRIMITIVE_TORUS { majorRadius, minorRadius } (lying on the plane; minor below major), OG_OPERATION_EXTRUDE { profile, holes?, distance }, OG_OPERATION_SWEEP { profile, path, caps? }, OG_OPERATION_REVOLVE { profile, axis? } (a full turn about axis { point: [u, v], direction: [du, dv] } in the profile's [u, v], by default its v axis), OG_PRIMITIVE_SLOT_PRISM { length, width, height } (a stadium standing on the plane, centred on its origin; length between the arc centres along the x direction), OG_PRIMITIVE_ROUNDED_BOX { width, height, depth, radius } (a cuboid with its four upright edges rounded; radius below half the width and half the depth), OG_PRIMITIVE_PIPE_SEGMENT { outerRadius, innerRadius, height, startAngle, sweepAngle } (a ring sector placed and angled like the cylinder sector), OG_PRIMITIVE_POLYSOLID { path, width, height, justify? } (a wall of constant width along path, a { start, segments, closed } of straight legs and tangent arcs in the plane's [u, v], standing on the plane and rising along its normal; justify is 'centre' (default), 'left' or 'right' of the path direction); profile, holes and path are wires. |
Sheet |
new Sheet(OG_OPERATION_SWEEP, { profile, path, caps: false }): an open-ended sweep, faces that enclose no volume. It shows its surface, from the front only, and its outline; OpenGeometry.exportStep refuses it. |
| Body options | { ogId?, parent?, appearance?, plane? }. plane is { origin?, normal?, xDirection? } and applies to primitives only; by default it is the ground plane through the origin, normal [0, 1, 0], x direction [1, 0, 0]. |
| Booleans | solid.operate(kind, { tools, instances? }) with OG_OPERATION_SUBTRACT, OG_OPERATION_UNION or OG_OPERATION_INTERSECT; tools is one to a hundred solids. |
| Shell | solid.operate(OG_OPERATION_SHELL, { thickness, instances? }) hollows the solid in place and leaves walls thickness thick inside every face. |
| Transforms | node.transform(kind, params) on a body or an assembly: OG_TRANSFORM_TRANSLATE { offset }, OG_TRANSFORM_ROTATE { axis, degrees, pivot? }, OG_TRANSFORM_SCALE { factor, pivot? }, OG_TRANSFORM_PLACE { origin?, xDirection?, normal?, scale? }. getPlacement() and getWorldPlacement() return { origin, xDirection, normal, scale }. |
| Edits | body.rebuild(kind, params, { instances? }) with the kinds and parameters above; a wire stays a wire and a solid a solid. |
| Mirror | body.mirror({ origin, normal }, { instances? }) rebuilds the shape as its reflection across the plane through origin with normal normal, both in the body's own coordinates (type MirrorPlane). The placement does not change. A placement cannot hold a reflection: a negative scale throws InvalidTransform. |
| Copies | body.duplicate({ ogId?, parent? }) makes an independent copy; body.instance({ ogId?, parent? }) shares the shape. getInstanceCount(), makeUnique(). |
SystemAssembly |
new SystemAssembly({ ogId?, parent? }). addChild(children, { keepWorld? }), removeChild(child, { keepWorld? }), getChildren(), getParent(), getBounds(), transform, dispose(). Bodies have the same tree methods. |
| Queries | getBounds() ([minX, minY, minZ, maxX, maxY, maxZ], or null), getBrep(), getWorldBrep() (the BRep placed in the world), faceNormalAt(faceId, [x, y, z]) (the face's unit normal in the body's own coordinates), classifyPoint([x, y, z]) ('Inside', 'Outside', 'Boundary' or 'Unknown', in the body's own coordinates), measure({ deflection? }) ({ volume, area, errorBound, areaErrorBound, deflection }; the volume is within errorBound of the exact one, the area within areaErrorBound), validity() ({ valid, closed, bodyType, error? }), solid.getReport() (the last boolean's report, or null). |
| Appearance | appearance in the options, or body.setAppearance({ color?, opacity?, outline?, pickOutline?, deflection?, smoothAngle? }). smoothAngle is in degrees, 20 by default: edges whose faces fold by less are left out of the outline and shaded smooth; 0 keeps every edge. |
| Display | OpenGeometry.settled({ deflection? }) resolves to { failed }; OpenGeometry.flush({ geometry?: 'sync', bodies? }) (with bodies, meshes and places only those bodies now; hidden bodies, bodies with no shape and bodies in limbo (disposed while a mark is live) are skipped; a fully disposed body or one from a reset runtime throws Disposed before anything is meshed; bodies without geometry: 'sync', a non-array bodies or an item that is not a Wire, Sheet or Solid throws InvalidParameter); OpenGeometry.setDisplayDeflection(world?); OpenGeometry.setCameraMotion(moving); OpenGeometry.observeCamera(renderer, camera) observes the first camera seen per renderer frame (renderer.info.render.frame) for level of detail; a render() nested inside an onBeforeRender (Reflector style) starts a new frame, and an ArrayCamera is observed through its first sub-camera (a host whose drawables are not kernel bodies, such as instanced or batched layers, calls it from their onBeforeRender); OpenGeometry.releaseIdleGeometry() disposes the display geometry cached for bodies not showing it and returns { records, bytes }; OpenGeometry.markDisplayed(bodies) counts those bodies as displayed for the current render pass (a host that draws bodies through its own instanced or batched layers calls it from that layer's onBeforeRender; it works for a body hidden by layer, skips a body with visible = false, and validates bodies as flush({ bodies }) does); OpenGeometry.setHostDrawn(bodies, hostDrawn) hands the drawing of those bodies to the host (true) or gives it back (false): while host-drawn, a body's visible is false, so three.js skips it and everything under it, and the kernel keeps the body's own visibility apart, so markDisplayed, a walk, flush({ geometry: 'sync', bodies }), level of detail and record swaps treat it as shown, and a dispose, a rollback or a reset changes that visibility instead of visible; giving it back sets visible to that visibility (a host calls it when a body joins or leaves its instanced or batched layers; do not set visible on a host-drawn body; it validates bodies as flush({ bodies }) does, except that giving bodies back ignores a disposed or finalized body, and a hostDrawn that is not a boolean throws InvalidParameter); OpenGeometry.hostGroup(bodies) returns a HostGroup that stamps all its bodies at once: group.drawn() counts every member as displayed for the current render pass exactly as markDisplayed does, at a cost that does not grow with the number of members (a host calls it from each instanced or batched layer's onBeforeRender in place of markDisplayed), group.set(bodies) replaces the members and group.dispose() ends the group, after which drawn() does nothing and its members no longer count through it; a body may be in several groups, a hidden or host-drawn member keeps its own visibility and gets its geometry when it is shown again through setHostDrawn or a rollback, a member that is not host-drawn and has visible set to true later gets it when it is drawn or walked, a member disposed later leaves its groups, a group that is dropped without dispose() is ended when it is garbage collected, hostGroup and set validate bodies once as markDisplayed does, and set on a disposed group or one from a reset runtime throws Disposed. A body is displayed when it is drawn (its own onBeforeRender or markDisplayed) or walked by updateMatrixWorld; a draw installs new display geometry after the render, a walk at once. Each body dispatches geometrychanged after it installs new display geometry and placementchanged when a flush moves it (BodyEventMap); their listeners run synchronously, after the whole flush is applied or at the end of the render pass, and a listener that throws is reported through OpenGeometry.on('error', …) with the thrown value while the flush and the pass complete. |
| Picking | OpenGeometry.resolveHit(intersection) takes a Three.js raycast hit and returns { ogId, shapeRevision, faceId?, edgeId? } or undefined. |
OGMark |
const mark = OpenGeometry.mark(), then mark.rollback() and mark.release(). OpenGeometry.markStats() returns { liveMarks, retainedRevisions }. OpenGeometry.transaction(fn, { dryRun? }) runs a synchronous fn and rolls back if it throws. |
| Events | OpenGeometry.on(event, handler) with 'geometry', 'warning', 'error' or 'fatal'; it returns a function that unsubscribes. |
| STEP | await OpenGeometry.exportStep({ nodes, unit?, upAxis?, name?, timestamp? }) returns { text, report }. nodes: bodies, assemblies or ogId strings. unit: 'millimetre' (default) or 'metre'; upAxis: 'Z' (default) or 'Y'. |
| IFC body | OpenGeometry.exportIfcBody(solid) returns the IFC exchange body (type AnalyticExchangeBodyV2): schema_version 2, world metres, Z up, representation_type 'AdvancedBrep' or 'CSG' for a solid with a cavity, entities, solids and faces. It refuses a Sheet, a Wire or an assembly. |
| 2D regions | OpenGeometry.booleanRegions2D(a, b, operation) and OpenGeometry.booleanCurvedRegions2D(a, b, operation) with 'union', 'intersection' or 'subtraction'. A region is { outer, holes }: an outer ring and a list of hole rings, each ring of { x, y, z } points at one height (type OffsetRegion) or of line and arc edges (type CurvedRegion2D). Outer rings run clockwise in XZ and holes counter-clockwise. A plain ring is not a region and throws InvalidParameter; the tolerance is OG_REGION_TOLERANCE. |
| 2D offsets | OpenGeometry.offsetRingVariable(ring, distances, holes?) insets a closed ring by one distance per edge, each hole { ring, distances } grown by its own; OpenGeometry.offsetCurvedRingVariable(region, distances, holeDistances?) insets one CurvedRegion2D of lines and arcs by one distance (>= 0) per edge, one list per hole, each arc kept on its centre at its own distance and refused when that distance passes the centre; OpenGeometry.offsetPolylineRegions(path, width, closed, miterLimit?) strokes a path. Both return CurvedRegion2D[] with exact arcs. OpenGeometry.insetCurvedRegion2D(region, distance) insets one CurvedRegion2D by a distance above zero, holes grown by the same, and returns CurvedRegion2D[] of exact lines and arcs: each arc keeps its centre and a reflex corner rounds to an arc of the distance; an inset past the half width is an empty list. OpenGeometry.offsetPolyline(path, distance, { acuteThresholdDegrees?, bevel?, closed? }) offsets a path to one side and returns { edges, bevelled, closed } (type OffsetPath2D). Rings and paths are flat [x, y, z, ...] lists; y is ignored. |
OGError |
Failures throw an OGError with code (for example InvalidParameter, SharedShape, Disposed), call, message and details. |
| Reset | OpenGeometry.reset() frees every body and leaves an empty document. |
| Typed parameters | OG_PRIMITIVE_PARAMS_<KIND>(params), OG_OPERATION_PARAMS_EXTRUDE(params), OG_OPERATION_PARAMS_SWEEP(params) and OG_OPERATION_PARAMS_REVOLVE(params) return their argument unchanged; they only give the object a type. The entry exports the parameter types too, such as ProfileParams and PolysolidParams. |
Rules that are easy to get wrong.
-
Await
OpenGeometry.createonce before creating any body. -
workerURLbelongs to the second argument ofcreate, not the first. -
Node has no
Workerand cannot fetch afile:URL. Pass the compiled module instead; tessellation then runs inline:import { readFileSync } from 'node:fs'; import { OpenGeometry } from 'opengeometry'; const wasm = readFileSync(new URL(import.meta.resolve('opengeometry/opengeometry_bg.wasm'))); await OpenGeometry.create({ wasmModule: new WebAssembly.Module(wasm) });
-
operatechanges the target's shape once. The tools stay separate, live solids: moving or disposing a tool later does not change the target, and a tool is drawn only if you add it to the scene. -
rebuildreplaces the shape, so an earlieroperateresult is gone; calloperateagain after it. -
A shape shared by instances cannot be edited one node at a time: pass
{ instances: 'all' }or callmakeUnique()first, or the call throwsSharedShape. -
Move bodies with
transform. Settingbody.position,rotationorscaleis reverted with aPlacementOverwrittenwarning. -
Add bodies to the Three.js scene yourself; a
SystemAssemblyis not a Three.js object. -
Surfaces use
MeshStandardMaterial, so the scene needs a light. -
Rendering is what asks for geometry. Render in a loop, or render once,
await OpenGeometry.settled(), and render again.settledreturns at once if nothing has been rendered. -
In Node nothing renders, so nothing asks for geometry: add the body to a
THREE.Scene, callscene.updateMatrixWorld(), then callOpenGeometry.flush({ geometry: 'sync' })orawait OpenGeometry.settled(); the mesh is then inbody.surface.geometry. After an edit,OpenGeometry.flush({ geometry: 'sync', bodies: [body] })meshes only that body and places its mesh, so the next frame shows it with no extra scene walk. -
STEP export defaults to millimetres and Z up. A wire cannot be exported on its own: the selection must contain a solid.
-
To check that a body is a valid solid, call
body.validity(): a valid closed solid gives{ valid: true, closed: true, bodyType: 'Solid' }. -
Call
dispose()on bodies and assemblies you no longer need. -
Catch
OGErrorand branch oncode. After a'fatal'event the runtime refuses every call untilOpenGeometry.reset().
What does not exist. IFC file text, STL and PDF export, projection, loft, public triangulation, curves other than lines, circles, arcs and polylines, such as the elliptical arc, and the 2.0 classes. Do not call them. 3.0 has no spline, no ellipse and no elliptical arc. Build a wedge as a five-face OG_PRIMITIVE_POLYHEDRON, and a 2.0 Curve as an OG_PRIMITIVE_POLYLINE wire through its points.
Where the truth is. index.d.ts in the installed package lists every export and its types. The examples in main/opengeometry-three/examples-vite/ are working 3.0 code, except that they import the built package by path (../../../dist/index.js) where an app imports from 'opengeometry'.
The documentation at docs.opengeometry.io describes 3.0: a quickstart, concepts, guides and the API reference. What changed in each release is in CHANGELOG.md. To move code written for 2.0 to 3.0, follow MIGRATION.md.
