[X3D-Ecosystem] Thought I’d drop this

You may have seen this in a video titled JSONverse recently.

This is a personal development environment (coined by TjDevries) for doing
X3D client-server side code development.  You can also collaborate by using
ProxyPass in Apache2 web server.

Installation instructions are on the GitHub link.

This is much like running a Python server or a Java Server to serve static
data, but instead of that, provides for reviews by several people.  Plus
there’s a JavaScript message back bone on the server.


This isn’t as fancy as X3DOM editor or X_ITE, but it does have an advantage
in one place, model sharing.  That message we’re targeting different web
browsers for each encoding, each binding, each X3D Editor and each X3D
Browser.  Or all in one browser in separate tabs. This isn’t a tool
integrator for all 3D formats, just X3D and .glb currently.  .glTF remains
untested.

Technologies currently used:

* We use X_ITE, realizing it and sunrize are taking a slightly different
path.  We intend to collaborate with the X_ITE and sunrize team, but
haven’t heard back.

* we use node.js for development.

* We use socket.io and http with express for networking.  https should be
able to be used with an Apache front end.

* we use any web browser (Maybe not the old ones).

* when you load the link in a web browser, my sample 3D model appears, and
you can drag the letters to change parameters.

* If you put a link in the text field and ENTER is typed , the link will be
sent to all connected clients.

* If you put JSON in the text area and press enter, the JSON will be
rendered in all connected web browsers.  But the views can be different
until the next publish.

If you type text, it will be sent to all connected clients with an alias.

I hope that I can develop the code well enough that it can also be used in
FreeWRL, CGE and X3D. Pull requests welcome!

Want to see your X3D JSON published to all encodings, all bindings, etc?
Eventually we’ll get there.  A lot of it is already present in X3DJSONLD!

Is this X3D-Edit?  Maybe!  Does X3D-Edit support producing binding code?
We hope to get there.
