Re: RPG JSON YAJL

HTTPAPI / YAJL
*Easy to use*Full-featured, offers capabilities that none of the others
do
*Performs very well
*Requires you to download/install 3rdparty software

Db2 SQL Functions in SYSTOOLS
*Easy to use
*Has most needed features; missing multipart; missing error details
*Performs slowly, uses a lot of resources (due to Java JVMs)
*Included with OS, nothing to install

AXIS C Transport API
*More difficult to use; pointer techniques; more code to do the same
things
*Only does HTTP, none of the additional needed features
*Performs very well*Included with OS, nothing to install

they're pretty easy and well typically documented (something IBM does
exceptionally well IMO) and it seems to me better to use what's
available natively on the platform. These days I use SQL for pretty
much everything so I'm just used to it, I can't remember the last time
I wrote a program that used native I/O instead of embedded SQL but it
was years ago.

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?
