Introduction
jFiles adds JSON support to Clarion. It contains
classes that let you create, and consume data files formatted as JSON.
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a semi-formatted structure used for
moving data between programs. It is more structured (and easier to deal
with) than CSV but less verbose then XML. Thus it is especially popular as
a format used to interchange data over the internet - either between a
browser and a server, between a WebService and a client, or between a
mobile device and a web server.
jFiles makes it really easy to move data between common Clarion structures
(Table, Queue, View, Group) and JSON "strings". These strings could be in
memory (suitable for being sent out over the internet) or stored as files
on the disk.
Features
- Consume JSON files into Clarion structures (Table, Queue or Group.)
- Create JSON files from Clarion structures (Table, Queue, View or
Group.)
- Create Nested JSON structures directly from a Group, Queue or View.
- Integrates with NetTalk to allow JSON to be used for web services
instead of XML. (Requires NetTalk 8.42 or later)
- Supports (Clarion) Arrays
- Supports Extended Name Attributes
