I think I could add a SAI addRoute() on top of this, but likely, I would have to provide a map from Node to proxy and proxyAction somewhere hidden or put the proxy and proxyAction in the Node. Then setNodeField() in the test code would be passed the Node, and you could look up the proxy and proxy action based on the Node and call setField(). This is an enhancement I will consider.</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This all probably means that I would have to start using the Map object to map object to object, if I don’t modify the nascient Node. Or I can use DEF values for keys for nodes. Hmm.

I am not really sure yet. I think I would need more advanced selectors. I am not ruling translation out at this point, even possibly transferring functions between VRML Scripts. I am still working on base functionality.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The possible advantage of getField() or setField() over standard JavaScript accessors is that you can change the selector (in any desirable language) to a proxy property more amenable to JavaScript explicitly, instead of automatically, and still have the advantage of a single proxy for a hierarchy (with single property proxies). That’s my thoughts anyway. I am going to move away from the SFString code and go back to the MFString code. It seems more valuable now. You can always add extra quotes around an SFString to make it an MFString, I think, if parsing won’t work. I will be removing singleroute.js as soon as I can translate the test over.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>getField() may become a bit like document.querySelectorAll(). I haven’t given it enough thought yet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I think I might be writing a selector language for JSON to make it more X3D-like, with MFStrings, and also, implement VRML script events for X3DOM ultimately (that’s why it’s part of X3DJSONLD). I am not sure of the actual purpose this might serve yet, so I am trying to keep it general, and I’m having fun with proxies. I think about setField() with a selector of ‘”A” “0” “addChildren”’ to add a value or values to the end of an MFNode. That will be in the future.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br>Not that it does all this yet <span style='font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif'>😊</span>. Actually, I don’t even know how much of this is already implemented in JavaScript for JSON…please inform.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br>I don’t want to use DOM because of extra properties and unserializability at this point.
