- Description
- X3D (Extensible 3D) is a royalty-free open standard file format used to represent 3D computer graphics. It is used to store and interchange 3D model data, including surface geometry, color, animation, and metadata. X3D files are built on the XML standard, and can be viewed and edited with a variety of 3D modeling programs.
- A JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) file is a lightweight, text-based, human-readable format used for data interchange. It is designed to store and transport data. JSON files use the .json file extension and are structured as a collection of name/value pairs, where the names are strings, and the values can be strings, numbers, arrays, or even other JSON objects. This format is widely used in web applications for exchanging data between a client and a server, as well as in configuration files.
