Why use it
Custom engines and offline tools avoid maintaining a parser per format, normalizing external assets before validation, optimization, baking, and conversion into runtime-specific data.
Where it fits
Find engines, frameworks, code libraries, version control, and production automation.

What to check
Broad format coverage does not mean identical support for every extension; test complex FBX files, material semantics, coordinate systems, and animation boundaries with real production assets.
