Chuck, 4D Tags will help you compose, but they won’t help you parse. If you get an response from a request, whether XML or JSON, you will start with text. If you use XML, see the XML DOM commands. You would use DOM Parse XML source. You can then use commands in the XML DOM theme to inspect

Hi David, Honestly I focused on the v15.3HF1 vs 15.4 on macOS 10.12.x part of the question and completely missed that mention DDOS at all… Sorry. To be clear though, there is no v15.5 (yet) - there is a v15.4HF2 released a few days ago. The DDOS thread was solved by using v15R5 however this

Chip, I'm going to guess the issue was with the Parent records. What is it? It could be a number of things especially if this is a mature project that's already been through several previous upgrades. My first hunch is that there's something in the data of a few fields that's causing some esoteric

Tim, Thanks for responding! We went to v15.3HF1 as a stop gap, because 15.2 was crashing on OSX 10.12.4. Why did you not recommend 4D v15.5? In a DOS attack posted here it performed without crashing, whereas 4D v15.4 crashed. David Ringsmuth From: Timothy Penner via 4D_Tech Sent: Wednesday,

Hi Bruno, Because it is easy to use xpath in 4D and easy to generate XML in Oracle this is exactly why I think this is a nice solution. I am glad you think the same:-) I assume one can also use attributes in xpath in 4D. Gr, Piotr Op 29 mrt. 2017 21:37 schreef Bruno LEGAY

Hi Piotr, I would advise JSON or rather 4D objects. 4D objects and JSON are not exactly the same, but very closely related. JSON is actually a text representation of a 4D object. The 4D debugger handles objects nicely too. You can store your data into a 4D object and then retrieve the values
