[x3d-public] including ProtoInterface keys in the JSON encoding

[John Carlson]

When I convert this file: examples/X3dForAdvancedModeling/Buildings/ArchPrototype.x3d to JSON, no ProtoInterface is included.  I am using xmlsh and the X3dToJson.xslt downloaded from the website.  I will try X3D-Edit next.  No luck there either.  Have either the website or X3D-edit been updated yet?  I must be patient.  I need to run the stylesheet for some of my tests, rather than having a canned JSON file. Thanks for your hard work Don!

Oh, I see, you want me to try to work with the JSON file to see if it will load.  It partially loads minus the arch.  the axes load fine.  The .x3d I have is not up to date, but the JSON -> XML produced a similar file.

My scripts don’t use ProtoInterface, so the lack of that didn’t cause an issue.  So the good news is, we have Prototypes and Scripts partially working with X3D JSON and the X3D JSON loader, albeit via XML for now until we can get native tool support.  We do need ProtoInterfaces for a complete tool, but I’m hoping that will come without many more additional changes to my X3D JSON Loader (Don, can you change X3dToJson.xslt to output ProtoInterface keys?  If you like I can be an alias for field Thank you.)
