Create JSON from struct

Sometimes you have data as a DataFlex struct, but need it in JSON format.

The code below gives an example on how-to change your data format so that it is available as JSON.

 
 Handle hoJson
 UChar[] ucaJson
 Integer iChn
 tYourDataType tYourStructVar
 
 Get Create (RefClass(cJsonObject)) to hoJson
 Send DataTypeToJson of hoJson tYourStructVar
 Get StringifyUTF8 of hoJson to ucaJson
 Get Seq_New_Channel to iChn
 Direct_Output channel iChn {filename}
 Write channel iChn ucaJson
 Close_Output
 Send Seq_Release_Channel iChn
 Send Destroy of hoJson
