[x3d-public] vtk.js JSON format. Will X3DJSAIL output glTF?

[John Carlson]

Yes, I saw that. That’s what developed my interest.  I will be travelling to California for a wedding June 13th-17th, and didn’t want to plan another trip so close to that.

Reactive Vega also has a JSON format for 2D visualization, and I think Kibana uses JSON as well, at least for data, and for storing dashboards in Elastic. I’m wondering if we should try to standardize.  I do not think that glTF is a particularly good format for visualization (something SVG-like would be better), but I could be wrong, depending on what’s developed on top of it.  Perhaps writing extensions or SVG-JSON would be appropriate?  glTF is fine for low-level 3D stuff.  So what do we do, write a high-level serverside streaming visualization library which outputs glTF?   What if the input to the library was X3D JSON, vtk.js JSON, Reactive Vega, SVG-JSON or ???   Can X3DJSAIL output glTF?

Should we start writing toStringGLTF() in X3DJSAIL?  Don?   Should we write the conversion in XSLT or JavaScript or Java?

Does anyone know about vtk's JSON format as mentioned here?
