Hi,
Is it possible (or on some wish list) to register new data types with
fpjson so it can understand and generate custom output, and understand
reading back that custom output.
eg:
Current I write a TColor value to JSON and it results in:
"BackgroundColor": -2147483648
Yes, technically that is correct, and Delphi/FPC code will understand
that, but other programming languages will not. So I was wondering if we
could somehow tell fpjson to render TColor output for example as:
"BackgroundColor": #FF00AA
or maybe
"BackgroundColor": $FF00AA
or maybe
"BackgroundColor": { "R": $FF, "G": $00, "B": $AA }
or maybe
"BackgroundColor": { "R": 255, "G": 0, "B": 170 }
The first two are probably preferred over the latter two for my needs.
This is not just for TColor, but I have various other data types I think
would be useful having improved JSON output/input in a slightly
different format. eg: Improving the formatting of floating point values
would also be nice.
eg: Currently I get:
"Width": 2.66680002212524
but would prefer
"Width": 2.6668
Regards,
Graeme
