# vrml1to97

JavaScript converter from VRML 1.0 to VRML97 file format, based on Wings 3D
conversion logic.

Essentially, this is a JavaScript reimplmentation of the algorithm of the
"token rearranger" found in the
[Wings 3D x3d importer](https://github.com/dgud/wings/blob/master/plugins_src/import_export/x3d_import.erl)
(which was written in Erlang).

## Usage

From an es6 module

```js
import {convert} from 'vrml1to97'
const vrml1spec = '# VRML 1.0 ....'
const vrml97spec = convert(vrml1spec)
```

or from a script

```js
(async () => {
   const vrml1to97 = await import('./dist/vrml1to97/index.js')
   const vrml1spec = '# VRML 1.0 ....'
   const vrml97spec = vrml1to97.convert(vrml1spec)
})()
```

or from the command line via node

```shell
npx vrml1to97 < old.wrl > shinynew.wrl
```
