JSON Blueprint

The JSON Blueprint, or JBlueprint, serves as My Simulation's variant of The Sims Online's XML-based blueprint file, originally employed for creating instances of jobs from these static files. The JBlueprint format is inspired by FreeSO's modified version of the same XML format utilized during the alpha phase. Intended initially for testing features during development by providing players with their sandbox, these files would be written and streamed back to other clients from the host. Technically, JBlueprint is considered version 3.0, with FreeSO's XML-based format being version 2.0 and The Sims Online's version 1.0.

While the JSON variant functions similarly and possesses comparable properties, it also represents a new format in its own right, unencumbered by the legacy baggage of its predecessor. This allows My Simulation to extend it beyond The Sims Online's original capabilities, particularly useful for P2P mode where environmental scripting can potentially be introduced.
