New feature:
- Support for objects with diffrents properties in an Array
Eg this JSON
{
"ArrayTest":[
{
"S1":"5102"
},
{
"S2":"True"
}
]
}
Generates the following DTO:
TArrayTestDTO = class
private
FS1: string;
FS2: string;
published
property S1: string read FS1 write FS1;
property S2: string read FS2 write FS2;
end;
Lots of changes in this version:
- Only floating poiunt numbers are mapped to Double
- Numbers are mapped to Integer or Int64 depending on their size
- Generated code restructored, and simplified
- Generated classes inheriteds from TJsonDTO
- Socurce Code restructored
- Parser logic are seperated from GUI logic
- Fixed bug in the RegEx for recognizing an ISO8601 Date
- Serialization removed the "noise" of List i.e. includes internal properties that did not exist in the original JSON string.
- Generated code uses TObjectList
Generates Delphi Classes based on JSON string. Just like XML Data Binding, but for JSON.
Main features:
- Build entirely on the RTL (no external dependencies) so it's cross-platform;
- Accepts any valid JSON string, no matter how complex the object is;
- Visualizes the structure of the JSON objects in a treeview;
- Generates complete delphi unit (declaration and implementation), based on the JSON string input;
- Automatically prefixes reserved Delphi words with "&" (ampersand);
-
- Blocks unit generation if the JSON string contains empty Array;
- Adds support code to automatically destroy complex sub types. So you don't have to manage subobject's lifetime manually;
- ** Uses TArray to represent lists;
- Adds helper serialization/deserialization functions;
- Serialization and deserialization results in the same JSON structure!
- Automatically detects date/datetime parts and maps them to TDate/TDateTime (as long as dates are ISO8601 compliant);
- Maps floating point numbers to Double
- Maps Number to Integer or Int64 depending on the number
- Maps true/false values to Boolean;
- Allows you to change property names (keys);
- Allows you to change the names of the stub classes;
- Supports JSON pretty print to format the input string;
- Simple and responsive GUI;
- Automatic check for update, based on ITask (Parallel Programming Library)!
- It's open source! You can find the source code and binary releases on GitHub.
- The program uses MadExcept to report unhanded exceptions;
- If the JSON array is empty the contained type is unknown. Unit generation works only with known and supported types.
