<div class="">> If you’re looking at the X3DOM and Cobweb code, care to share some of the structures? </div>
<div class="">> Can you give more detail on how your idea would work? How would you keep both systems up-to-date with each other, i.e., routing.?<br>
</div>
<div class="">So its not just the structures, The execution models are heterogenous.<br>
</div>
<div class="">Options:<br>
</div>
<div class="">1. proto instances run in x3dom execution model - what your expander does<br>
</div>
<div class="">2. x3dom nodes run in cobweb execution model<br>
</div>
<div class="">3. run-time synchronization mechanism between 2 execution models<br>
</div>
<div class="">All this so that web designers wanting to jQuery DOM elements are happy.<br>
</div>
<div class="">4. over-ride jQuery so it can get to cobweb node instances, and appear to html scripts the nodes are in DOM, keeping DOM/jQuery people happy without using x3dom.<br>

<div class="">I think it would be simpler to get my prototype expander and routing to and from scripts well tested, deployed, validated and encoded. Then it can be released as part of the X3DOM package instead of trying to merge two codebases. We would be
providing people with a full JSON alternative to XML. But that’s just me. But unwrapping prototypes may be inefficient.</div>

expander to see the difference. I think where I may be lacking is passing SFNodes and MFNodes around. Should I try some of your recent examples against it? Can you provide me with a list and permission to publish on my site and @ github? Thanks! It’s
likely that I would be publishing derived JSON and not the original X3D XML or VRML.</div>
