  The official Open-Asset-Importer-Library Repository. Loads 40+ 3D-file-formats into one unified and clean data structure.

  

You may be interested in the Open Asset Import Library. I recently replaced my own gltf import with this and it's been a real breeze, and a good reference for basing my own internal models on. Lots of supported file types and language ports.

  Inter-Quake Model format development kit

If you're going to go to the effort of writing a custom file format, you may as well just write your own Blender export script so that you have the data you want right from the start. If you aren't familiar with it, check out the IQM animation format, which is pretty easy to understand. It has examples of how to load the format, as well as the actual export .py scripts that it uses to export from blender.
