[x3d-public] Clear up possible misconceptions re: X3DJSONLD

[John Carlson]

Google AI summary in small font:  Clarification in bold.

X3DJSONLD is an open-source JavaScript loader and Node.js-based tool for
rendering and managing Extensible 3D (X3D) scenes encoded in JSON format.
Created by John Carlson, it converts JSON objects directly into Document
Object Model (DOM) and XML, supporting both client-side and server-side
workflows, including JSON schema validation, as highlighted by the Web3D
Consortium
<https://www.web3d.org/news-story/web3d-consortium-awards-professional-memberships-community-contributors>
.
Key features and components of X3DJSONLD include:

   - JSON-to-X3D Conversion: It facilitates the conversion of X3D JSON
   objects, which typically represent scene graph nodes, into displayable
   X3D/XML, notes the Web3D Consortium
   <https://www.web3d.org/x3d/stylesheets/X3dToJson.html>.
   - JavaScript Loader: A client-side X3DJSONLD.js script allows web
   browsers to load and parse X3D JSON data, supporting integration with
   various 3D libraries.
   - Node.js Server: Includes an Express-based web server (
   X3DJSONLD/build.sh) to serve files from localhost.

*It would be more appropriate to say X3DJSONLD/build.sh provides a way to
build X3DJSONLD, but this is not strictly necessary, I rarely use it.  To
serve files, use ```node app.js``` or ```node index.js```, then select an
appropriate link.*


   - Validation: Provides tools for validating JSON files using X3DJSAIL
   (X3D Java Scene Access Interface Library).
   - *The project x3dschema,   https://github.com/coderextreme/x3dschema
   <https://github.com/coderextreme/x3dschema> is more appropriate for
   validating JSON with X3DJSAIL.*
   - Integration: It is part of the broader ecosystem for X3D Graphics
   <https://www.web3d.org/specifications/>, which includes tools for
   converting between XML, JSON, and other formats, according to the Web3D
   Consortium.

The project is hosted on GitHub
<https://github.com/coderextreme/X3DJSONLD/blob/master/README.md>.
