[x3d-public] Wish list for X3DJSAIL

[John Carlson]

Okay, I am seeing that the stylesheet to use is configurable in the
X3DJSAIL.properties file.  Great.  That applies to output.

Can I have an X3DJSAIL property for overriding the HAnimHumanoid class?
Suggestions?  Or just override one output method through dependency
injection?  Can I do dependency injection from the command line?

I'm guessing alternate stylesheets is the correct approach, but it may not
affect XML output?  comments?  Is there a way to set the stylesheets in
CommandLine.java command line options?  If I can do that, then I can get
rid of my RunSaxon.java  Except RunSaxon.java handles batch requests.
Another thing to do would be to send translated file names to standard
output, which I can then process successful conversions through a
json2all.js script.

Should I donate RunSaxon.java to the cause?

Here it is:

X3DJSONLD/src/main/java/net/coderextreme/RunSaxon.java at master ·
coderextreme/X3DJSONLD (github.com)
<https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/src/main/java/net/coderextreme/RunSaxon.java>

Probably some modifications would be required to pair input with output.  I
compute stuff like file names automatically.

What I'm concerned most about is maintaining both a scene graph and a
String in memory as the Strings can get quite large (8GB).  It looks like
there may already be streaming input, so the question might be, how is
streaming to/from standard input/standard output from a scene graph
accomplished?  Similar to tovrml.exe.  Say I want to put CommandLine in a
shell or Bun JavaScript pipeline?

I'll read the X3DJSAIL wish list in a bit.

Thanks!

John
