[Fiware-miwi] Java lib for writing XML3D content?

[Kristian Sons]

Dear Sami,

we have a Java EMF data structure for XML3D that we use for 
preprocessing and converting of scene. It has also good support for 
external references. However, it's an in-memory data structure and we 
never used it for performance critical stuff so we don't know how the 
performance is. It might be interesting because it's convenient and 
failure-proof. One could switch to a streaming API (SAX or StAX like) later.

Also, I recommend to work with external references and to encode the 
geometry e.g. in JSON. There is Jackson [1] which is very convenient for 
JSON serialization. I think it has also a streaming API.

Just contact me if you are interested in the EMF data structure.

Best,
Kristian
