xbuf is an exchange format usable to store scene, models, animations in file or to edit scene over network. It takes inspiration from :
- OpenGEX : as data to managed, and doc fragment I copied
- glTF : some discussions and some goals
- blender api : how blender manages data
- Entity-Component-System (ECS), RDF : as way to extends and to link data
xbuf is a binary format usingProtocol Buffers (aka protobuf) to generate source code for java, C++, python,... to read and write it. Then it's more developer friendly than json, oddl, xml, or any text based dialect, without loosing flexibility via extension.
The project would like to be anCommunity Format shared by several engines, tools. It'sOpen to any contributions (code, discussion, issues, tools, ...).
