[x3d-public] X3DJSONLD ... converts XML to JSON client side!

[Leonard Daly]

John,

I am wondering how this might differ from the following built-in 
capabilities described below. What does your code do differently than 
these built-in methods?


XD is an (string) XML fragment, then this fragment can be inserted into 
the DOM (either as part of the document of a separate sub-tree) using

var parser = new DOMParser();
var xmlDom = parser.parserFromString (XD, 'application/xml');

[Ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/DOMParser]

At this point xmlDom is a DOM tree, but not inserted into the HTML 
document DOM.

It is possible to go back to XML string using

var S = new XMLSerializer();
var xmlString = s.serializeToString (xmlDom);

[Ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLSerializer]

There is the JSON.stringify method

[Ref: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/JSON/stringify 
and 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46880822/how-to-json-stringify-a-dom-element 
- answer 1]

There is at least one other GItHub project 
(https://gist.github.com/sstur/7379870) that converts to/from JSON and 
strings/DOM.

Going from an internal object to JSON takes a little careful work to 
make sure the tree is correctly handled and the code does not follow the 
circular loops that are present in DOM.
