Re: RPG JSON YAJL

[Cabero <cabero@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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
