<br>
Thank you for your interest. I have thought about how to create a
scene in the browser if the input is JSON. I don't really have an
answer right now. One solution I thought of is to create DOM nodes
from the info in the JSON, then parse the DOM into the scene
graph. There is obvious overhead, but it does reduce the problem
to a previously solved case.<br>
<br>
At this time I am comparing features to determine which are
important and how best to express them. I have tried to keep the
input possibilities as simple as possible so I haven't worked on
handling a JSON encoding just yet. I do consider it important, but
I'm not sure exactly where to start with it given where XSeen is
right now.<br>
<br>
When importing, I can take an X3D file and parse it as an XML file
to create a DOM tree that is not attached to the document. I walk
through the tree looking for a Scene element, then move all
children of Scene to be children of the referring Inline. If you
have code that can take an input (as external reference via
Inline) and parse it into a DOM tree, I would be interested. Is
that what your code does?<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Interesting. Do you need a JSON -> DOM
library, or are you going with glTF or some other tool based
JSON?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">X3DJSONLD may work for your JSON -> DOM
purposes. It is intended to be fairly JSON encoding agnostic,
and I’d like to try it with one of your scenes. Do you have a
scene in JSON? That is, I don’t have a DOM -> JSON yet,
but that’s on my near todo list, and I have a pre-alpha
prototype, if X3D/X3DOM Scripts and Routes are no longer a
priority. It sounds like DOM -> JSON is higher priority…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you do have JSON, and you are using <a
href="https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/node/X3DJSONLD.js"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/node/X3DJSONLD.js</a>
, you will need to modify the below method to provide your
own loadSchema for JSON validation, or just remove it an rely
on the basic DOM validation in the browser.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do have a version which is more packaged,
found in cobweb/X3DJSONLD, here: <a
href="https://github.com/coderextreme/cobweb/blob/master/cobweb.js/cobweb/Parser/JSONParser.js"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/coderextreme/cobweb/blob/master/cobweb.js/cobweb/Parser/JSONParser.js</a>
in that case, you just call var dom =
JSONParser.parseJavaScript(jsObj), but it creates and X3D DOM
element, which may not be desired. The code is cleaner, and
you may provide an alternative to parseJavaScript…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There are also DOM -> XML serializers in
X3DJSONLD (not the above JavaScript, but in src/main/node) to
validate your JSON is producing the right DOM. The
serialization is fairly standard, but you may find that you
need to do some substitutions, which I provide.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I will start work on DOM -> JSON again.
We do need a second implementation, and I need it for client
side purposes. Off to work!</p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p>As most of you know I have been advocating that X3D fully
move into the HTML5 environment and support the display and
interaction of flat-screen and VR declarative content in the
browser. A-Frame offers many of those capabilities and was
built for the browser environment. </p>
<p>In keeping with my advocacy of this evolution of X3D, I
started development of a library that supports comparison and
definition of the best features of A-Frame, X3D, and other
capabilities. This is a very early pre-alpha development
release to help generate interest in a discussion of the
appropriate technologies to include in the 3D/VR HTML
language. The initial release is announced at <a
href="http://realism.com/blog/xseen-merging-x3d-and-frame"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://realism.com/blog/xseen-merging-x3d-and-frame</a></p>
<p>At this stage only a few static features are available
including all 3D pre-defined solids from both languages plus
X3D's Appearance, Material, Shape, Transform, and Inline. It
is possible to mix nodes from X3D and A-Frame. The initial
version of the library is on GitHub at <a
href="https://github.com/DrX3D/XSeen" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/DrX3D/XSeen</a>.
It runs on top of THREE.js</p>
<p>My next step is to write the beginnings of the internals
documentation describing how to add nodes and other features.
At this time there are no capabilities for animation except
for what is done directly through THREE.</p>
<p>The goal of this work is to develop a language that is</p>
