[x3d-public] protos for v4: x3dom + cobweb?

[Joe D Williams]

The X3D execution model is simple.

The script is this.

Events are sent when the script is complete.

Events are part of the current cascade.

DirectOutputs are sent as set, outside the current cascade.

Here’s a good start on porting Scripts from X3D to X3DOM:

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/Script.js 
<https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/Script.js>

download the code with:

git clone https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/

I need help understanding the X3D execution model.  Right now, it’s 
all messed up.

This is a driver for it:

https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/PPP.js 
<https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/PPP.js>  which 
generates the JavaScript and evals (yuck!) it.

I’m not sure prototypes need too much more work, but you can try 
converting your prototypes to JSON and expanding them.  it would be 
helpful to get a
tester.  I would just like to get scripting working in the short term. 
That’s my priority 1 item besides validating and encoding JSON for 
display in X3DOM.

We can add stuff like the requestFieldRef and releaseFieldRef to the 
X3D JSON loader for X3DOM soon as well.  Question:  Can I request and 
release in quick succession, and can I use objects and arrays to set 
the values of the requested field?

This code allows for Cross Site Scripting (XSS) if used improperly! 
Know your data (no don’t trust it), or validate with schema and encode 
(yes we are working on it).
