throwaway12245··on WebGL2 Fundamentals
Try xz compression and put in a blob and then and put in wasm (C or rust for best performance). You can inline the wasm in single html file along with js and css. At load time, in wasm, you can decompress and instantiate the elements/objects/records from parsing the blob. You can keep in wasm or copy/move to js land. Sounds like a lot but it's pretty easy.
