Backport %JSON.* to Caché

Attention:

This is a coding example working on Caché 2018.1.3
It will not be kept in sync with new versions 
It is also NOT serviced by InterSystems Support !

Full backport from IRIS for Windows (x86-64) 2020.1 (Build 215U) Mon Mar 30 2020 20:14:33 EDT

IRIS brought us an excellent %JSON.Package
It is an essential component of the Project Manager (ZPM)
This backport makes it available also in Caché and builds a base to eventually backport also ZPM.
As writing to SYSLIB / IRISLIB is a strict NO-NO all .cls and .inc names now start with %Z*
So %JSON.Adoptor became %ZJSON.Adaptor. Names of Properties & Methods inside the classes didn't change.
An extension of specific error codes was required as they don't exist in Caché

Installation & Content

As ZPM is not available (yet?) the traditional install of a package as .XML applies.
It is all packed into %ZJSON.XML

I just tested it in Namespace "%SYS" with Studio import + compile

Examples

In Namespace SAMPLES I extended

  • Class Sample.Address Extends (%SerialObject, %Populate, %XML.Adaptor, %ZJSON.Adaptor )
  • Class Sample.Person Extends (%Persistent, %Populate, %XML.Adaptor, %ZJSON.Adaptor )
  • recompiled Class Sample.Employee Extends Person
  • Class Sample.Company Extends (%Persistent, %Populate, %XML.Adaptor, %ZJSON.Adaptor)

Hello, 

First of all, great job for this backport !

I was trying it and i found a kind of an issue regarding to export and object to json that is an inheritance of %ListOfObjects
If we have a list of elementtype of and object and then we try to export this to a json we get this json instead of a correct json.

exported json:

{
  "ElementType":"test.element",
  "Size":"1"
}

Json that we want:

[
  {
    "field1":"testField1",
    "field2":"testField2"
  }
]

Test classes:

Class test.elementList Extends (%ListOfObjects, %ZJSON.Adaptor)
{ 
 /// The type (class name) of the elements stored in the collection.
 Parameter ELEMENTTYPE = "test.element";
}
Class test.element Extends (%RegisteredObject, %ZJSON.Adaptor)
{ 
 Property field1 As %String [ InitialExpression = "testField1" ];
 Property field2 As %String [ InitialExpression = "testField2" ];
}

Class test.Main Extends %RegisteredObject
{ 
ClassMethod Run()
{
  Set elem = ##class(test.element).%New()
  Set elemList = ##class(test.elementList).%New()
  Do elemList.Insert(elem)
  Do elemList.%JSONExportToString(.json)
  Do ##class(%ZJSON.Formatter).%New().Format(json)
 } 
}

I try it in IRIS and i got the same problem.
