File format for enterprise deployment

[abhivaidya 9]

Hello All,

 

I am just evaluating BabylonJS for a client project and since this is a large corporation, I will have to deploy the files (especially the meshes) as common file formats (eg. .js or .json). The reason being, I am assuming (also with some experience in dealing with such clients) that if I deploy a project with files with custom extensions (like .babylon), they wont load and they wont add it to the mimetype to load such files.

Hence, can I customize or rename the extension to something else, like ones mentioned above, for easy deployment?

 

Regards

Unless you have to deal with MIME type restrictions (the MIME type is usually written by the server in the http response headers), from the browser point of view, an extension of a file name has strictly no importance. So renaming a .babylon file to .json should work out of the box.

Hi marcus,

the .babylon file is not more than a json file renamed to .babylon for the sake of proper definition.

If you register the standard babylon loader to load .json files instead of .babylon files, it should be working. It should anyhow work, as the default loader will trigger (for example, like this: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#81WPUC) . This is important if you register more than one loader.

That works like a charm!
