Reads Microsoft DXBC containers, signatures, and SM4/SM5 instruction streams as plain JavaScript data or internal decoder objects.

Use this package when a browser or Node application needs a pure-JavaScript DXBC decoder. Shader lowering remains in @carbonenginejs/format-webgl and @carbonenginejs/format-webgpu; compiled effect-container parsing remains in @carbonenginejs/format-hlsl.

npm install @carbonenginejs/format-dxbc

Inspect or fully decode caller-supplied DXBC bytes:

import { CjsFormatDxbc } from "@carbonenginejs/format-dxbc";

const summary = CjsFormatDxbc.inspect(shaderBytes);
const decoded = CjsFormatDxbc.read(shaderBytes);

console.log(summary.shaderModel, decoded.instructions.length);

The default json output contains plain data suitable for serialization. Advanced backends may request emit: "raw" for the package's internal container, signature, program, and instruction-decoder instances.
