AGENDA:

JsonDiscovery: JSON viewer done right (EN)
Denis Kolesnikov

Abstract:
I'd bet that you have either a built-in JSON viewer or an extension like JSONViewer in your browser. But what if I told you that there is an alternative to these viewers that not only formats JSON nicely, but also allows you to do incredibly cool things with your data? Rapid analysis, visualization, data transformation, sharing, plus all of the above done with maximum performance! In this talk, I will introduce JsonDiscovery browser extension and show with examples how this tool can simplify your work with JSON.

**3D Web Development with Three.js** (EN)
Tobias Cornille

Abstract:
In this talk, I'll introduce you to the wonderful world of 3D web development. Thanks to the WebGL and WebGPU graphics APIs, the web is more than capable of running amazing 3D applications and experiences. We'll start with the basics, introducing you to essential concepts like the camera, the scene graph, lighting, shaders, etc.. From there, we'll explore Three.js, a JavaScript library that simplifies creating and rendering 3D scenes, making 3D web development more accessible. I'll also show how you can use wrappers like React Three Fiber and TresJS to integrate 3D components into your React or Vue applications. Whether you want to build a game, create data visualizations, or add a touch of flair to your personal website, join me to learn how to take your projects to a whole new dimension.
