G’day,
I tried the following (pseudo code):
Create an object
Fill the object with some stuff
Create another object and filled it with stuff including a picture
Put the second object into the first.
JSON Stringify($MyGreatObj)
Save objectText to file
Opened the file in BBEdit:
{
"Para1": "2019-09-24",
"Para2": 36170,
"ActivationCode": "activationCode",
"Embeded": {
"SomePict": "[object Picture]",
"someText": "TestText",
"aRealNumber": 3.1415926535898
}
}
************ NOW
$ObjText := Document To Text
$TestObject:=JSON Parse($ObjText)
$TestText:=$TestObject.Embeded.sometext
TestPict:=$TestObject.Embeded.somePict
Both variables are EMPTY!
***** Next STEP
$EmbeddedObj:=$TestObject.Embeded
$TestText:=$EmbeddedObj.sometext
$EmbeddedObj contains the object but $TestText is empty again.
The picture is a total lost!
So, I think 4D-Objects need more time (another 25 years?) to catch up with
ObjectTools…
A command like OB To BLOB would be a nice point to start.
My 2¢
Cheers
Jörg
