I have an application that manages the configuration of an embedded device, which communicates over TCP/IP. Currently I have implmented a protocol with a command identifier for each data item and the way to send the data is by sending a packet with the command ID plus the data to the open socket.
This is less than optimal but was done when the config item number was low, but it seems to increase over time so I want to find a better way. I have just looked into fpJSON a bit (read the wiki but no coding yet). I have this question: The config data are stored in a record and consists of a mix of data types like strings and numbers as well as booleans. Is there a simple way to encode the record as a JSON message to be sent to the device with all of the information in one packet? If so how would one go about coding that transformation? If possible I would like it to be transparent such that if the record is extended later it would automatically include the new members? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org https://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
