Structs & Xml / Json conversion

Hi Geert,

You're almost there. I often do a conversion from the desired result first to work out what the target struct looks like by examining $dbgString, e.g.
  vXML = "<para audience=%%"admin%%">text</para>"
  xmltostruct vStruct, vXML

The trick to replicating the structure in this case is that "txt" is an attribute that has no $name. There might be a better way of doing it, but I just used the struct collection reference to add a second attribute like this:   vStruct->para->*{2} = "text" (You could add a $newstruct beforehand, but I don't think it is necessary in this case).

So my test code looks like this:
  vStruct->para = $newstruct
  vStruct->para->$tags->xmlClass = "element"
  vStruct->para->audience = "admin"
  vStruct->para->audience->$tags->xmlClass = "attribute"
  vStruct->para->*{2} = "text"
  putmess vStruct -> $dbgstring
  structtoXML vXML, vStruct

I hope that helps. A similar technique should work with JSON, but you'll need to set different $tags.

Kind Regards,

David,

thanks for the speedy & helpfull response. This seems to work. 

The StructoJson however gives me following message (via $procReturnContext)

Context=StructToJSONWarnings=1DETAILS=SEVERITY=WarningCURRENTSTRUCT=""->para{1}ADDITIONAL=Encountered array struct member with a name: audience
{"para":["admin","text"]}

I suppose we can ignore this?

the result seems correct (to me)

{"para":["admin","text"]}

if i change the code in following way

(i removed the tags since not needed for JSon conversion)

  vStruct->para = $newstruct

  vStruct->para->*{1} = "admin"  

vStruct->para->*{2} = "text" 

$procReturnContext does not return warnings

Kind regards,

Geert
