The World-Wide Web Library of Common Code is a general code base that can be used to build clients and servers. It contains code for accessing HTTP, FTP, Gopher, News, WAIS, Telnet servers, and the local file system. Furthermore it provides modules for parsing, managing and presenting hypertext objects to the user and a wide spectra of generic programming utilities. The Library is the basis for many World-Wide Web applications and all the WWW software is built on top of it.

Cortona SDK enables developers to integrate the engine of Cortona VRML client into applications written in C, C++, Visual BasicŪ, DelphiŪ or HTML - as well as to any application supporting ActiveX technology (MS Word, MS Access, MS PowerPoint etc.). Cortona VRML client is the universal tool for MS Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator and is capable of browsing virtual worlds written in VRML.
It is the smallest and the fastest VRML browser in the world. The Cortona SDK distribution package contains: · Cortona VRML engine · Documentation for Cortona ActiveX control and VRML Automation Interface. · Documentation for VRML extensions in Cortona · Usage examples Additionally, ParallelGraphics grants Cortona SDK users a license for the re- distribution of 100 copies of Cortona VRML client. With Cortona SDK, you can create a wide array of 3D applications - ranging from a 3D presentation of your company to advanced VRML authoring tools. Utilizing Cortona SDK can dramatically improve your business. You can use the tool for: · Interactive product presentations, · Advertising support, · Realty information services, · Virtual manuals for remote learning.
If you are looking for an effective and powerful 3D engine for your web site or standalone application - check out Cortona SDK! Short one is the folowing: Add powerful 3D capabilities to your Web site with Cortona SDK! Cortona SDK enables developers to integrate the engine of Cortona VRML client, the smallest and the fastest VRML browser in the world, into applications written in C, C++, Visual BasicŪ, DelphiŪ or HTML - as well as to any application supporting ActiveX technology.

Javra is a java package that forms a layer between your applet and the External Authoring Interface (EAI) of your VRML plugin. With it you can build scene graphs that can be exported to the plugin. Furthermore, you can change the exported scenes and see the results directly in the plugin. The javra code has largely been generated automatically using the VRML2.0 specification.

JVerge is a collection of Java classes that faithfully represent the VRML nodes. More than this, they provide a higher level API to produce your scripts or EAI based applets in, without having to worry about using all that really low level stuff. You want a Box, then type new Box and you have one ready to go. Build scene graphs easily and quickly. JVerge supports the entire standard VRML node structure. It enforces you building the correct scenegraph at runtime by use of the Java class mechanisms.

One of the great strengths of using JVerge is to allow you to move your java code from Script to Applet to standalone application by simply changing the import line at the top of the file and about 10 lines of code which does the initialization (ie getting the root node from the scene etc).

OpenWorlds is primarily a C++ library for creating and executing VRML 2.0 nodes. In addition, sample Performer-based application code is included demonstrating implementation of a stand-alone VRML 2.0 browser. Sample code showing the implementation of the built-in nodes is class="text"also provided, as well as a Tcl/Tk-based Scene Graph Viewer.

The OpenWorlds libraries can be used to create a custom VRML browser or browser-plugin. Or link-in the library and use our scripting APIs to add VRML scripting capabilies to your existing system. No more need to port your application to (another) cosmic new graphics library or HAL just to support VRML!
