3D
A 3D geometry format, also called the Stanford Triangle Format. It starts with an ASCII ply header; for Gaussian Splatting it stores per-point properties such as color, opacity, scale, and rotation.

}Polygon File Format is used in 3D viewers, asset pipelines, model conversion, avatar loading, and scene validation. Containers, extensions, binary chunks, and texture references all affect implementation behavior.
Untrusted input is not safe just because the format was detected. Account for parser exceptions, large files, unexpected encodings, and external references.
8 samples help test viewer loading, extension detection, and load time across file sizes.

Detect the format by reading these leading bytes rather than trusting the file extension alone.
The MIME type for Polygon File Format is model/ply, application/octet-stream.
Polygon File Format files use the .ply extension. The extension is a convention only and does not guarantee the file contents, so combine it with signature and structure checks.
