## What it is
XVIZ is a protocol and JavaScript tooling suite for real-time transfer and visualization of autonomy data, with modules for building, parsing, validating, and serving XVIZ streams. It includes converters for open datasets like KITTI and NuScenes and a server/client example stack.

## Use cases
- stream lidar and perception data from autonomous vehicles for 3d visualization
- convert kitti or nuscenes datasets to a streamable visualization format
- build a server that streams autonomy data to a web-based 3d viewer
- validate and inspect autonomy data logs against a schema
- visualize self-driving car sensor data in real time in the browser

## When to choose
- you need a standardized protocol for streaming robotics or autonomous vehicle data to 3d visualization tools like deck.gl
- you want ready-made converters for common open autonomy datasets
- you are building a Node.js-based pipeline for autonomy data logging and playback

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose telemetry protocol unrelated to autonomy or 3d scenes
- your stack is not JavaScript/Node.js since tooling is JS-centric
- you need actively developed features - the project is in maintenance mode

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: serialization, data-visualization, websocket, http-server, cli
- domain: autonomous-vehicles, robotics, data-visualization, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: autonomy-data, self-driving-car, 3d-visualization, protocol, kitti, nuscenes, nodejs, javascript
