Database Format

Databases is something that most users don't want to know anything about (other than that it is possible to save their workspace). However, if you are spending a little too much time in front of your computer, you may still be interested in a little information about the Easy3D database format.

• Easy3D stores all the workspace information in one XML-inspired (but not strict XML) ASCII file.
• The database is forward (and to a large extent also backwards) compatible (meaning that you can load your Easy3D workspaces in future versions of Easy3D and to some extent also in previous versions).
• The database is easily understood by direct inspection, and someone who fancy a little programming may create their own tools against it.
• The database does not contain redundant information. This makes it very slim and easy to store and send over the internet. In the future the database may act as a starting point for a general representation of 3D models on the web, and browsers can be made to interprete them! (in our dreams right?)
