NodeJS CADViewer Conversion Server

CADViewer Visual Query in it’s standard setup is using our NodeJS CADViewer Conversion Server as the Back-End for CAD file conversion and interaction with the server. The NodeJS CADViewer Conversion Server implements the CADViewer RESTful API for communication and transfer of files between the CAD Converter back-end and the front-end CADViewer Visual Query instance.

Please install from our GitHub repository: cadviewer-conversion-server and follow the install instructions and troubleshooting in the README.md .

Typically the endpoint /helloworld/ will tell that the conversion server is alive:

         http://localhost:3000/helloworld

will respond with the server version number.

    Hello World! CADViewer Server v9.87.1

The server is now ready to be used with CADViewer Visual Query!

Other Back-End Platforms

In addition to the NodeJS Conversion Server we support a number of other back-end technologies to connect with the CADViewer Front-End. If the application programmer does not need file-browsing, JSON loading of external structured content or use of login or server side file browsing, these other platform technologies can be used.

All our Back-End Handlers/Connectors implements the CADViewer RESTful API for communication and transfer of files between the CAD Converter back-end and the front-end CADViewer instance.

The platforms PHP, dotNet, dotNetCore and Servlets with Gobal DOM scope are based on the CADViewer Script Library, whereas the frameworks ReactJS, Angular and VueJS are using the CADViewer NodeJS Server as back-end and the CADViewer npm library as front-end, but cross-combinations are supported.
