Don,
I hope this doesn’t mean I am required to run your Java code anymore! I
was pretty happy that it didn’t produce any outputs when I ran it. Now I
have to deal with your XML and Classic VRML if I run output from
X3dToJava.xslt, AFAIK. (half joking)
Probably I’ll run an output disabled version, until I run into something.
I guess this is getting one’s wish granted!
I’ll continue with creating JSON and XML from my Java for continued testing
of JSON and XML round trips. More later.
All is good, great to see core external validation coming to X3DJSAIL
outputs.
Further ideas for QA include developing XML roundtrip diffing! I am mostly
unsatisfied with what I’ve done with this. Any efforts regarding this are
most appreciated!
You are welcome to repurpose my fledgling ideas, found at:
https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/node/xmldiff.js
Sorry for lack of documentation. Primarily, I am missing canonicalization,
which I originally did to both original and result XML, things like
defaults, scripts and number precision might be current issues, it’s been a
while since I looked at it. A java version which didn’t drop canonical
files on the file system except when there’s an issue would be like, “wow!”
