I haven't the time to check what kind of structure was currently returned in 
the JSON string, but yes, my first idea was to use basic Java Objects:
- Object arrays to store arrays,
- HashTable to store properties,
- Integer, String, Boolean, ... (and probably arrays also) to store property 
value


An other solution would be to use JSON classes (JSONObject and JSONArray):
see http://www.crockford.com/JSON/java/index.html

With the JSON classes, the getProperty could return a JSONObject or a 
JSONArray, that could be:
- easily converted to a JSON string in the getJSONProperty() method for the 
applet
- browsed from other Java methodes for example to extend the povray export 
function


The above are only first thoughts, they need to be examined and discussed more 
in depth

Good :)

Before extendind the number of properties that are currently available, we need 
to agree and decide on the basics
