getSchemaView Method @beta

Get the schema view for this iModel. The view is built lazily on first call by fetching compact binary schema data via PRAGMA schema_view through the ConcurrentQuery thread pool. Subsequent calls return the cached view. Multiple concurrent callers share a single in-flight build.

The returned SchemaView is a lightweight, read-only, synchronous API for navigating schema metadata - classes, properties, relationships, enumerations, etc. It is the recommended default for runtime read-only metadata access and is significantly faster and lower-memory than schemaContext. Use schemaContext for schema authoring, custom-attribute deserialization, or anywhere you need the full ecschema-metadata object graph.
