I am trying to load a state file into paraview lite web.
The state file is made up of a .xdmf wrapper file containing some .bin files (for holding big dataset)
The state file opens perfectly fine for the visualizer whereas it shows nothing for the paraview lite (even though I see the filters in the tree view on the left).
So my question is: does paraview lite support xdmf files and loading states?

Could this be related to the data file path? Are you talking about new or old visualizer?
The new one does [that](https://github.com/Kitware/paraview-visualizer/blob/master/pv_visualizer/app/ui/files.py#L43-L44) which is not in Lite or the old Visualizer.

Thanks, I will take a look. I was basically trying to migrate from the old visualizer (nodejs based) to something that is modern and easier to modify (for me at least).
So I was trying the ‘pvpython -m paraview.apps.lite’ for this question.
But then I came across the recent released code of the new visualizer (python-trame based) which is easier for me to modify (and integrate with my backend which is in python flask)
