#JSON

I have a Cache classes with %TimeStamp (e.g. 2016-04-18 12:29:11) and %Date (eg. 64027) properties. And I have a javascript client app, which needs full CRUD over this properties.

But in javascript date/time are defined by ISO8601 (e.g. timestamp 2016-04-18T12:29:11Z, date 2016-04-18).

MessagePack is a binary-based efficient object serialization library. It enables to exchange structured objects between many languages like JSON. But unlike JSON, it is very fast and small.

Any chance of adding support for MessagePack?

Hi

I have been experimenting with the creation of a set of REST services for an app.  The basic GET operation is set to create a %ZEN.proxyObject instance, and then set an instance of a Persistant class as a property, which gives me all of the values I want to return.  However, it also gives me some values that I don't want to return over REST (because they are both private, and large registered objects which will bog down performance)

How do I remove these values from the ZENproxyObject?

I am pleased to announce the next 2016.2 field test kit, 2016.2.0.595.0.

It may look like a slow week, with less than fifty changes having been checked in, but this kit includes the following fixes to problems found by you, the ones running the kits in the field:

• ALE2845, which fixes the cachejdbc.jar version
• JN1637, which fixes an issue that blocked debugging Atelier when used in conjunction with Kerberos
• DLP3508, which fixes a JSON issue with $compose()

The rest of the fixes have been spread among different areas of the product, chief among them DOCUMENT Data Model, SQL and Atelier.

I'm revisiting some older projects that can benefit from the new JSON support and dynamic object capabilities in 2016.1 FT / 2016.2 FT. (Particularly, some of the really new features in the latest 2016.2 FT.)

For the particular thing I'm working on, it would be very handy to be able to merge objects, similarly to https://api.jquery.com/jquery.extend/. The closest thing I've found so far (in 2016.2 only) is:


Set o1 = {"a":1,"c":2}, o2 = {"b":1,"c":1}
Write "o1: ",o1.$toJSON(),!
Write "o2: ",o2.$toJSON(),!
Write !
Write "Merge two objects into a third (new) object, with values from o2 overwriting those from o1 when property names are shared: ",!
Set o3 = o2.$compose({"returnValue":o1.$clone()})
Write "o3: ",o3.$toJSON(),!
Write "o1: ",o1.$toJSON(),!
Write "o2: ",o2.$toJSON(),!
Write !
Write "Merge o2 to o1, overwriting the contents of o1: ",!
Do o2.$compose({"returnValue":o1})
Write "o1: ",o1.$toJSON(),!
Write "o2: ",o2.$toJSON(),!
