With regards to the JSON Parser. We are already using the z/OS XML
System Services in our applications. Wouldn't it just be a great idea if IBM
provided z/OS JSON System Services with the same interface and events as
the XML System Services? Then clients could switch from XML to JSON by
simply changing the call to system services. No other changes needed. I
discussed this at SHARE Atlanta with members of the IBM team that
developed the JSON parser. They saw no merit in this idea whatsoever. It
seems to me that IBM simply has no idea what their clients want or need.
Great design! Would you consider a vendor solution?
I would but I'm not so sure my employer would. We want to move off the
mainframe. We will probably develop something along this lines ourselves now.
(Isn't that weird..?)
Do you have a C/C++ compiler? We use jsoncpp which is well maintained by
a host of committers including Google and Amazon
https://github.com/open-source-parsers/jsoncpp/blob/master/version. I've
patched it to support EBCDIC. It would be trivial to wrap this library
in a module that could be called from any LE language using ILC.
Ironically, I suggest you may get better support from the open source
community then you will from IBM!
Fred!
