X3D is an open standard for 3D content delivery. It is not a programming API, nor just a file format for geometry interchange.

It combines both geometry and runtime behavioural descriptions into a single file that has a number of different file formats available for it, including the Extensible Markup Language (XML). It iements based on years of feedback from the VRML97 development community.

You can read more about this topic on web3d.org. But in short, it allows you to easily manage interactive content or even the famous Utah teapot...
