[x3d-public] HudPrototype.json in updated .zip; converting url file extensions from .x3d to to .x3dv .json etc.

[Roy Walmsley]

Hi Don and John,

 

As far as I know my own code (in development) is the only one that can load both JSON and XML encodings, albeit with only partial node implementations, which currently approximates “Immersive” profile.

Not necessary, I would like to not have to regen JSON files every time I do a fresh install.

I think it's okay to leave as is, as long as it's okay for me to change it in the  short term.

It would provide an extra check to that complete JSON example files are there.
I'm not aware of any browser that does both XML and JSON yet.  Roy?  Right now, following a JSON link in the browser leads to a text page with JSON on it, so you may not want to change Anchors.
