Re: RPG JSON YAJL -- WEB400

Man, you and Jon P! :) If those are anything like the XML SQL functions - at least for consuming content - I found those very manageable. I haven't spent any time with creating XML, though, so can't speak to any similarities with the JSON stuff.

I went to SQL for consuming XML, because it was more flexible, and at 7.1, at least, was more forgiving about weird UTF-8 byte sequences, such as emojis. Neither XML-INTO or XML-SAX handled that at 7.1, and we had to make stuff work!

For consuming content, I recommend Birgitta's presentations at COMMON, or maybe they're available elsewhere.

Personally, I tried out the SQL functions when they were first released. I found them counterintuitive, as well as clunky and difficult to use.

...I'm curious as to why you'd use YAJL instead of embedded SQL to create/consume JSON in RPG, which seems to me to be a better option?
