Hi,

Can somebody from the FPC team contact the JSON website [http://www.json.org/] so that they can list Free Pascal Compiler's fcl-json package under Delphi/Object Pascal section.

No need to leave FPC out of the list - considering the other obscure names in that list. We should promote FPC wherever possible. :)

Is there a reason why you can't do it yourself?

I guess because the 'weight' of a developer is higher than the weight of a user :-)

If Graeme doesn't do it, I will.

The reason I said somebody from the FPC team is because maybe there is a "unknown to me" reason why fcl-jason is not listed on the JSON website. I don't use JSON (never have), so I don't know if it is feature complete etc... Something a FPC team member might know.

If fcl-json is feature complete, then I don't mind emailing the JSON website myself, that is not an

It works for all use cases. All JSON objects can be read/written. WST uses it.

That too. :)
So Michael, as a FPC team member, would you mind doing the honors. You probably know a lot more about fcl-json that I do (I never used it before).

Since I wrote the code, I guess I do. I'll contact them.

I suppose supporting everything defined in http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt (it's a fairly short and simple rfc, so that's certainly likely).

That, it certainly is.

But one could envisage a complete streaming system (as in converting RTTI to streams) based on JSON.

From an Object Pascal point of view, that would be more

feature-complete.

Anyway, I contacted the author: Douglas Crockford.

It was funny to discover that I actually own a book written by this man. I knew the name rang a bell... :-)

Michael.
