ISO/IEC 19777-1:2006

Information technology - Computer graphics and image processing - Extensible 3D (X3D) language bindings - Part 1: ECMAScript

For integration into a programming language, the X3D abstract interfaces are embedded in a language-dependent layer obeying the particular conventions of that language. ISO/IEC 19777-1:2006 specifies such a language dependent layer for the ECMAScript language. ISO/IEC 19775-2 specifies a language-independent application programmer interface (API) to a set of services and functions.

Overview

ISO/IEC 19777-1:2006 defines the language binding of the Extensible 3D (X3D) abstract interfaces for the ECMAScript programming language. In practical terms, the standard specifies a language-dependent layer that embeds X3D’s abstract interfaces into ECMAScript while obeying the conventions and idioms of that language. It complements the language‑independent API specified in ISO/IEC 19775-2 by providing the ECMAScript-specific mapping needed for implementation and integration.

Key Topics

• Language binding for X3D: Specifies how X3D abstract interfaces are represented and accessed from ECMAScript environments.
• ECMAScript conventions: Requires adherence to ECMAScript naming, object and data type conventions, and runtime behavior when mapping X3D constructs.
• Integration model: Defines the expectations for embedding X3D capabilities into ECMAScript-based applications and runtimes.
• Interoperability with language‑independent API: Works together with ISO/IEC 19775-2 (the language‑independent API) to provide a complete programming model for X3D services.

Note: The standard focuses on the language-dependent mapping and does not replace the language‑independent API; instead it implements that API’s interfaces in ECMAScript.

Applications

ISO/IEC 19777-1:2006 is useful wherever X3D 3D scenes and services need to be controlled from ECMAScript environments:

• Web and browser-based 3D applications using ECMAScript (e.g., web engines and scripting environments).
• Interactive visualization and scientific visualization tools embedding X3D scripting.
• Game engines or simulation frameworks that expose X3D scene control via ECMAScript.
• Tool and library developers implementing X3D runtime bindings for JavaScript/ECMAScript platforms.
• Enterprise and training systems that integrate 3D content with ECMAScript-driven UI logic.

Implementers use this standard to ensure consistent, standards-compliant access to X3D scene graphs and services from ECMAScript code, improving portability and interoperability across platforms.

Related Standards

• ISO/IEC 19775-2 - Defines the language-independent application programmer interface (API) for X3D services and functions; ISO/IEC 19777-1 provides the ECMAScript mapping of those interfaces.
• X3D family and other ISO/IEC graphics standards - use in combination to implement end-to-end 3D solutions.
