GML to X3D Conversion
What are GML files?
GML (Geography Markup Language) is an XML-based language for describing geographic features, developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and adopted as the international standard ISO 19136. A GML file is readable text in which every object on a map, such as a building, a road, a lake, or a boundary, is written down together with its shape and its attributes, for example a name, a type, or a population. The language is a toolbox rather than a fixed list of objects: communities and organizations define their own application schemas on top of it, which is how national mapping data, cadastral records, and the data of 3D city models are exchanged. GML is also the standard way for web map services to return features.
What are X3D files?
The X3D file format is an open standard file format used for 3D graphics and animation. It is based on the VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) format and is designed to be platform-independent, allowing for easy sharing and distribution of 3D models. X3D files can store information about geometry, textures, lighting, animation, and interactivity. The format is supported by a variety of 3D software applications and web browsers with the appropriate plugins or extensions.
