A new text based 3D format in XML... in 2021?
> Microsoft
Oh that makes more sense.
- formerly_proven 5y agoThese files are pretty much an OOXML file, same structure and even has a [Content_Types].xml
- baq 5y agostrictly better than yaml.
- OJFord 5y ago> in 2021 This post is (should be) `(2019)`, and 3MF first released in 2015 according to Wikipedia.
- junon 5y agoThanks. 2019 and 2015 aren't much better though. There's been a bit push for gltf but it's quite complex; I don't see it being adopted. XML isn't the answer either, though.
- kome 5y ago> A new text based 3D format in XML... in 2021? Well, thank god they are using a standard, interoperable, widely understood and supported text-based format like XML. Any other solution would have been terrible, especially if yaml or json were involved.
- numlock86 5y agoWhy would JSON have been terrible? Because it's lacking namespaces and all those "quirky" things most XML implementations (and users) get wrong?
- AussieWog93 5y agoYou took the bait, mate.
- numlock86 5y agoNah, I think he's serious. At least by other comments in similar regard ... > JSON is a verbose mess. Or did I get baited again? Calling JSON a verbose mess while comparing it to XML is pretty weird ... argh! What is real and what isn't anymore? Do we even exist?
- AussieWog93 5y agoI suspect he's a wumao for the JSON standards body.
- himinlomax 5y agoUsing JSON for exchanging long-lived documents is bad.
- numlock86 5y agoCan you elaborate?
- junon 5y agoI don't know of a single model format in widespread use that uses YAML, and only one that uses JSON (Three.js object files).
