Background
glTF™ (GL Transmission Format) is a royalty-free specification for the efficient transmission and loading of 3D scenes and models by applications. glTF minimizes both the size of 3D assets, and the runtime processing needed to unpack and use those assets. glTF defines an extensible, common publishing format for 3D content tools and services that streamlines authoring workflows and enables interoperable use of content across the industry.

Importing
Currently not supported in FreeCAD v0.19
Exporting
FreeCAD has no native export of gITF format, therefore as a workaround there are these methods:
1. Export as STEP -> Import into CAD Assistant from Opencascade -> Export glTF
OR
2. Use the python library cqparts (website) by importing in to the FreeCAD Python console like so:
import cqparts
cqparts.Assembly.importer('step')('myfile.stp').exporter('gltf')('myfile.gltf')
