Re: JSON, DATA-GEN, YAJL, and Special Character Field Names

Agreed to the "roll your own" comment - but there is a really easy way to handle this with DATA-GEN as per my other post.

The SQL option is fine but personally I find that with SQL the complexity level grows very quickly and has a tendency to result in write-only code.

Both parsing and generating JSON is very easy using [embedded] SQL if you're on >=7.2, I would say definitely don't roll your own solution.

Subject: JSON, DATA-GEN, YAJL, and Special Character Field Names

I have used DATA-INTO and YAJL a good bit and have been able to consume / decode JSON messages that contain field / element names with disallowed characters. For example.. e-Commerce and YAJLINTO converts it to e_Commerce. There isn't a way to do this in reverse, is there? I'm thinking no since YAJLGEN would not know the special character we'd need to put into the JSON message.

I'm thinking we'll have to use SQL or build the string manually.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
