Re: Convert DS/Record to JSON

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mihael,

Would that require Java be involved at runtime?  I vaguely recall RFML being
part of the IBM Java Toolbox.

Your statement gave me an idea that builds on your thought process.  What if
we parsed an externally described data structure (i.e. DB2 table) and stored
the metadata in another DB2 table that could be easily accessed and cached
in memory for subsequent reference from the RPGUI program that needed to
generate JSON.  The reason for storing the meta data would be to save on
parsing each time, but if it cost just as much to parse as to go to the meta
data DB2 table then it would be a moot point.
