It features a C++20 library for file parsing and BOM (Bill of Materials) generation, alongside an HTTP server and CLI tools for metadata browsing and JSON output, making it suitable for applications needing SolidWorks data access in non-Windows environments. Notable features include comprehensive document property extraction, component path resolution, and a user-friendly web interface for metadata interaction.
