ANN: IDocList/IDocDict JSON for Delphi and FPC

[Arnaud Bouchez 407]

Since years, our Open Source mORMot framework offers several ways to work with any kind of runtime arrays/objects documents defined, e.g. via JSON, with a lot of features, and very high performance.

 

Our TDocVariant custom variant type is a powerful way of working with such schema-less data, but it was found confusing by some users.
So we developed a new set of interface definitions around it, to ease its usage, without sacrificing its power. We modelized them around Python Lists and Dictionaries, which is proven ground - with some extensions of course.

 

Two one-liners may show how our mORMot library is quite unique in the forest/jungle of JSON libraries for Delphi (and FPC):
+]

1. assert(DocList('[{ab:1,cd:{ef:"two"}}]')[0].cd.ef = 'two');
2. assert(DocList('[{ab:1,cd:{ef:"two"}}]').First('ab<>0').cd.ef = 'two');

Yes, this code compiles and run on Delphi - even the antique Delphi 7. 😆

 

If you compare e.g. to how the standard JSON library works in the RTL, with all its per-node classes, you may find quite a difference!
And there is no secret in regard to performance, that our JSON processing is fast.
