[X3D-Ecosystem] Thought I’d drop this

[John Carlson]

JSONverse 2.0 dropped with websockets (as well as http longpolling).  Next
is to figure out how to use WebTransport (for HTTP/3)

Enjoy!

This starts the server on port 8088:

npx x3d-jsonverse at latest

If you get an address binding issue, set the X3DJSONPORT environmental
variable (you can run multiple servers on the same machine).

If people are really interested, I can send my apache configuration for
websockets.

Thanks!
