Preliminary notes on the creation of an X3D JSON encoding.
- This page is to understand the conversion process so that a high-quality encoding definition can be created
- Don Brutzman started a thread on the X3D-Public list.
Conversion Issues
Design criterion: round-trippable lossless representation of X3D scene.
- How to convert attribute names to distinguish them from child elements
- Handling of container elements
- Creation of JSON elements with datatypes appropriate to content (e.g., integer, float, strings, etc.)
- Inclusion of XML namespaces
- Handing of comments in the source
- {LD} I don't see an issue of dropping comments during conversion. This is not suppose to be a conversion of files to maintain an archive, but a conversion for use. JSON does provide comment mechanisms.
- {DPB} Each X3D encoding needs an option for inclusion of comments in order to ensure 100% round-trip conversion capabilities.
- Don reported that self-closing tags are missing from his test runs
