[x3d-public] New way to use my x3dvalidate tool (batch mode)

[John Carlson]

Thanks for the 55 downloads of x3dvalidate a few weeks ago.  I have been
away from X3D JSON a few weeks, and I was trying the new X3D JSON schema
based on x3d4 standards for HAnimHumanoid and HAnimMotion, and I found
that npx x3dvalidate didn't work, so I deployed a new version, and that
didn't work. I tried removing my cache and that didn't work either.  So I
am puzzled now.

Since the old versions don't agree with the standard, I don't know what to
suggest for npx.  If it fails, and clearing the cache doesn't work. I think
you can follow the original instructions in the file, with

$ npm install -g x3dvalidate at 8.6.0
$ node x3dvalidate file1.json file2.json file3.json ...

or after the install, use

$ x3dvalidate file1.json file2.json file3.json ...

You may need to upgrade to 8.6.0 in your package.json dependencies.

If someone wants to build out a new X3D JSON schema based on my own work or
their own, they are welcome, and I will gladly use the new schema after
testing. I have been working on non-schema Java validators, but I'm having
troubles checking large files into github.

Thanks for any issue reports:
