I am not sure I have a full understanding of what you are asking.
I am going to restate and provide my view.<br>
<br>
Are you asking if people will use an X3D JSON loader using data
stored in an HTML file rather than GETting it from a server? The
data would be stored as a JavaScript variable (object) inside of a
(HTML) script element.<br>
<br>
It seems to me that including data in code in a file that is meant
for display is not good practice. The data is content, but it
needs to be processed before it is viewable as content. I see JSON
as far more useful as downloaded data. This doesn't decrease the
need for a XML->-JSON->XML converter chain. Does your JSON
loader load the scene into an X3DOM environment? If not, what
runtime do you use for display of the 3D content? <br>
<br>
If it does load it into an X3DOM run-time, perhaps it is better
written as the download callback routine for X3DOM's Inline.<br>

<pre wrap="">Do people want to Inline JSON files in my X3D JSON Loader? I think they do, but I’m pretty sure I want to separate the code out into my prototype expander. How do people feel about this? Ultimately, I think that X3DOM and Cobweb will fully support JSON, but until they do, can we develop a stopgap measure?
I don’t want to put Inline JSON in my X3D JSON Loader, because it introduces a dependency on AJAX/JQuery, and changes the DOM/XML so I can’t do roundtrip comparisons with the original X3D.
Who is using the X3D JSON Loader at this time and what are the requirements? The loader is moving towards a support role for verifying the JSON encoding, and unless my customers speak up, it will continue to move that way.
