You can study the IfcOpenShell code. Basically IFCOpenShell makes the executable C++ classes. So first you need to read IFC into any computer language which you think then you have to load it into memory.

JSDAI seems also very promising

From the website:

JSDAI™ is an Application Programming Interface (API) for reading, writing and runtime manipulation of object oriented data defined by an EXPRESS based data model. Such models are widely used in STEP (ISO 10303), PLIB (ISO 13584) and other ISO, IEC and DIN standards.
