XODE (the XML ODE data interchange format) can be used to describe an Open Dynamics Engine (ODE) scene with all its related bodies, joints, geometry and other objects. It was created to address a growing need amoung ODE users for a common data format and was developed by William Denniss with assistance from comments made by the ODE community.
Example File: box-and-sphere.xode (describes two ODE bodies with geometry, a box and a sphere)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xode version="1.0r22" name="boxsphere"xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://tanksoftware.com/xode/1.0r22/xode.xsd"> <world> <space> <body name="box"> <transform> <position x="0.1" y="4" z="2" /> </transform> <geom name="boxGeom"> <box sizex="4" sizey="4" sizez="4" /> </geom> <mass> <adjust total="1" /> </mass> </body> <body name="sphere"> <transform> <position x="0.5" y="1.8" z="2.3" /> </transform> <geom name="sphereGeom"> <sphere radius="2" /> </geom> <mass> <adjust total="1" /> </mass> </body> </space> </world> </xode>
