As Bill has mentioned earlier in his post, we have carefully reviewed the JSON capabilities and made some adjustments to ensure they deliver the best benefit to you. In this post, I am going to describe the modifications in more detail and provide guidance for you to understand the implication for your code base.

You may have heard about our mg-dbx-napi interface for IRIS which provides insanely fast access from Node.js.  If you've been following recent developments in the server-side JavaScript world, you'll be excited to know that mg-dbx-napi also works with Bun.js, the latter proving to be significantly faster than Node.js for many/most purposes.

Of course, if you're a Node.js user, you'll probably wonder how mg-dbx-napi compares with the Native API for Node.js that is included with IRIS.

JSON and XML persistent data serialization in InterSystems IRIS

Hi Developers,

objectscript-json-patch

An implementation of JSON-Patch in ObjectScript.

Why you should use JSON-Patch

JSON-Patch (RFC6902) is a standard format that allows you to update a JSON document by sending the changes rather than the whole document. JSON Patch plays well with the HTTP PATCH verb (method) and REST style programming.

Install

With zpm :

USER>zpm
zpm:USER>install objectscript-json-patch

How-To use it

Use it with this call :

Do ##class(Grongier.JSON.Utils).Patch(tDoc,tPatch)

Where :

• tDoc is a %DynamicObject (JSON)
• tPatch is a %DynamicArray of the patches (the JSON Patch).

1. Define Persistent Class
Call utility class to fetch json via query.
Class Test.JSONFromSQL Extends (%Persistent, %Populate)
{
Property FirstName As %String(POPSPEC = "FirstName()");
Property LastName As %String(POPSPEC = "LastName()");
Property CountOfThings As %Integer(POPSPEC = "Integer()");
ClassMethod OutputJSON() As %Status
{
If '..%ExistsId(1) Do ..Populate(100)
Set sql="select FirstName, LastName, CountOfThings from Atmus_Web_Test.JSONFromSQL"
Quit ##class(JSON.FromSQL).OutputJsonFromSQL(sql)
}
2. Utility Class
Class JSON.FromSQL Extends JSON.Base

Hello community,

I'd like to briefly announce three new packages, available on the Open Exchange / through ZPM, that can really help accelerate modern full-stack application development on IRIS. I announced all of these in a Global Summit session last week, but you may have missed it - and I hear there's a full-stack application development contest coming up!

At the heart of this is isc.rest: a continuation of apps-rest with broader use within InterSystems and some new killer features - most notably, OpenAPI spec generation. isc.

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Hebrew: 

👉Advanced JSON & DocDB👈

📅 Date & time: November 29th, 3:00 PM IDT

JSON has become the leading language in interfaces in recent years. 

In this Webinar we will learn about the use of JSON Adapter and its mappings,

How to convert information from SQL to JSON in a single command, 

And how can information be saved as raw JSON without saving as an object in DocDB.

DP-439207 - AIX JSON Unicode Parsing Issue

A bug has been identified in InterSystems IRIS 2024.3.0 on AIX instances that affects the parsing of JSON Unicode strings.

Hey Developers,

Enjoy watching this brief explanation of a new feature in IRIS RAD Studio – a new project by @José.Pereiraand @Henrique.GonçalvesDias:

⏯ Automated user management in IRIS RAD Studio

I've created a new repository that I will use for providing examples of various scenarios and use cases for QEWD

https://github.com/robtweed/qewd-microservices-examples

Initially it contains a example of a scenario I'm often asked about: a set of REST APIs, with JWT support, implemented as a set of QEWD MicroServices, each of which uses Cache or IRIS running on a Windows system.

What I've provided is a detailed, step-by-step guide (with detailed explanations) of how to set up such a system.

I am seeking work with InterSystems HealthConnect/Cache. My experience is working with Rules and DTLs, plus message search, and export of components.With 10 years of dedicated expertise in SOA and ESB platform development, I have successfully designed and implemented enterprise-level integration solutions for large organizations, driving significant improvements in system interoperability and business efficiency.I have actively developed and supported HL7 V2/V3 、FHIR、XML/JSON interfaces.I reside in China. Available for full-time or contract positions, with remote work options preferred.

We are pleased to invite you to the upcoming webinar in Spanish "Desarrollar y gestionar APIs con InterSystems IRIS Data Platform" / "Developing and managing APIs with InterSystems IRIS Data Platform" on October 15 at 16:00 CET!

Are you a backend developer? Or a Systems integration specialist? If so… this webinar is for you!

Hi,

This is available on github and wairing for approval on the Open Exchange.

It  allows you to

• "Serialize" any class instance that extends from the adapter to a DynamicObject.
• "Deserialize" a DynamicObject to a class instance that extends the adapter.
• References to other classes can be followed recursively and serialized.
