I’m thinking of file format for data table.  RDBMS Table (SQLLite?),
X3D+XHTML, JSON, Custom, Classic VRML + Comments, OpenUSD, etc.
Preferences?   I was thinking of using JAX-B for JSON and XML+HTML (For
XSLT).  SQLLite for internal.  Is there a separate open source VRML parser
available for Java?
