Re: Based data structure as dynamic array

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

If you are looking for dynamic structures to hold complex
relationships then you should check out the LLIST and corresponding
JSON service programs at RPGNextGen.com.  It is LGPL and was created
by Mihael Schmidt.  It is what I use in OpenRPGUI.com for the JSON
needs.
