Re: Weird IWS Bug (?)

Agreed - with limitations. This may be possible with IWS but I have no idea how ... for instance you may need to modify the JSON payload in a way that cannot be controlled by the "shape" of RPG parameters. You may have requirements that if there is not data for an element then the tag must not be there either.

As a result IWS is fine if _you_ are making the rules. i.e. "You want me to supply web service access to my data? Sure - the JSON will look like this." But in may cases you are placed in a position where (say) Walmart makes the rules and _tells__you_ what the JSON has to look like.

Also IWS saves having to _learn_ "YAJL or whatever", which in my opinion is a major plus in most RPG shops.

IWS does need a more intuitive interview, but once that swamp is crossed, it gets the job done.

If you pass an array IWS_converts_ it to JSON Jim. Or XML for that matter.

Saves having to run YAJL or whatever in the RPG code.
