[x3d-public] ANNOUNCE: X3D SAI Libraries for C, C++, C# (X3DCSAIL, X3DCPPSAIL, X3DCSSAIL)

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

We are happy to announce that Dr. Myeong Won Lee of Suwon University South Korea has submitted the following libraries.

X3DCSAIL:   X3D C   Scene Access Interface (SAI) Library
X3DCPPSAIL: X3D C++ Scene Access Interface (SAI) Library
X3DCSSAIL:  X3D C#  Scene Access Interface (SAI) Library

Additional contributors include
* Min-Geun Lee   for C, C++ codebase
* Chul-Hee Chung for C# codebase

These can all be found in subversion source at
https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/languages/
https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/languages/c
https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/languages/cpp
https://sourceforge.net/p/x3d/code/HEAD/tree/www.web3d.org/x3d/languages/csharp

Closely related are the following libraries:

X3DJSAIL:   X3D Java Scene Access Interface (SAI) Library       (implemented)
X3DPSAIL:   X3D Python Scene Access Interface (SAI) Library     (x3d.py draft)
X3DESAIL:   X3D EcmaScript Scene Access Interface (SAI) Library (possible future)

We also received a simple but excellent Python viewer for X3D that uses the numby, PyQT5 and PyOpenGL libraries.
* Hasung Kim for Python Viewer

Thanks to our colleagues for hard work and magnificent contributions!  This effort was performed as part of

	Web3D Korea Chapter
	http://www.web3d.kr
	https://www.web3d.org/about/chapters

*Test reports and candidate improvements are most welcome*.  Once best-practice design patterns are established, we are further considering how source-code autogeneration might be performed by applying the following.

	X3D Unified Object Model (X3DUOM)
	https://www.web3d.org/specifications/X3DUOM.html

All of this work is helping us reach the goal of very thorough support for

	X3Dv4 Strategy

Have fun with X3D in every major programming language!  8)

all the best, Don
