Delphi-JsonToDelphiClass

Fixes & Features: 16th June 2024

Features

  • JSON null property are now mapped to a string.

Eg this JSON

{
    {
        "createdAt": null,
        "updatedAt": "2013-05-28T15:47:57.962Z",
        "username": "jacquelyn88"
    }
}

Generates the following DTO:

  TItems = class
  private
    FCreatedAt: string;
    [SuppressZero]
    FUpdatedAt: TDateTime;
    FUsername: string;
  published
    property CreatedAt: string read FCreatedAt write FCreatedAt;
    property UpdatedAt: TDateTime read FUpdatedAt write FUpdatedAt;
    property Username: string read FUsername write FUsername;
  end;

Fixes & Features: 04th February 2024

Features

  • Added a Demo, using and authenticated endpoint Demo Application

This demo illustrates how to authenticate a user to obtain a Bearer token. Subsequently, this token is used to retrieve a list of products from an endpoint that requires authentication.

Thanks to DummyJSON for providing this service.

Fixes & Features: 01th February 2024

Features

  • Added a Demo, getting Json from a WebAPI

    Demo Application

    Thanks to DummyJSON for providing this service.

Fixes & Features: 19th January 2024

Features

  • Upgrade to Delphi 12
  • Added Clone function on TJsonDTO class

Bugs:

  • Unittest TestDateTime didn't pass under Delphi 12
  • Added missing Reserved words

Fixes & Features: 13th January 2024

Features

  • Major code cleanup, especially naming
  • Removed INDY from Upgrade chekker
  • Forward classes are only generated if there are more than one thanks to Daniel for pointing this out

Fixes & Features: 06th February 2022

Features

Fixes & Features: 23th December 2021

Features

Fixes & Features: 03th October 2021

Bugs:

  • Wrong type detection. '2019-08-29' wasn't recognized as a Date, but a string
  • All unittests didn't pass
  • In the generator main form, the correct JSON wans't allways read from the MEMO
  • In the generator main form, the JSON wasn't allways updated

Features

  • Upgraded to Delphi 11
  • New property attribute : [SuppressZero] Delphi doesn't support Nullable types, so use this attribute to strip TDateTime property where value is 0.

A Small example:

type
  TDateTimeDTO = class(TJsonDTO)
  private
    [SuppressZero]
    FSuppressDate: TDateTime;
    FNoSuppressDate: TDateTime;
  public
    property DateSuppress: TDateTime read FSuppressDate write FSuppressDate;
    property NoDateSuppress: TDateTime read FNoSuppressDate write FNoSuppressDate;
  end;

The above class will generate the following JSON, if both properties is 0

  {
    "suppressDate":"",
    "noSuppressDate":"1899-12-30T00:00:00.000Z"
  }

NOTE: You can turn off this feature in the settings form

Fixes & Features: 04th June 2021

Bugs:

  • An error message occured when switching between the diffrent demo files
  • Dates without timestamp wasn't recognized within the RegEx
  • Compile error in unit tests
  • Updated elements in a list wasn't applied to the generated json.
  • Issue #2 Out of memory error and High CPU usage - Thank You MarkRSill

Features

  • Added unit tests for updating elements in lists.

Fixes & Features: 26th Marts 2021

Bugs:

  • The same class name could appear multiple times:

E.g this JSON generated faulty code:

{
    "/": {
        "readonly": true
    },
    "\\": {
        "readonly": true
    }
} 

Fixes & Features: 22th December 2020

Bugs:

Features

  • New main form. Completly rewritten.
  • Support for BSON
  • Support for Minify JSON
  • Support for multiblt output formats
  • JSON are now minifyed before posted to the validator. Means support for larger JSONs to be validated.
  • Version 3.0 released.

Fixes & Features: 11th December 2020

Bugs:

  • "id": "01010101" faulty generated a TDateTime property not string.
  • Settings.AddJsonPropertyAttributes didn't generate a Property Attribute

Features

  • JSON are now posted directly to the validator
  • Better property name generator
  • More unit tests

Fixes & Features: 24th November 2020

Bugs:

Features

  • Possibility to change the postfix of ClassNames, via Settings Dialog. Default: DTO
  • Settings Dialog rewritten to use LiveBindings
  • Create a Demo Project, using your Json Data

Fixes & Features: 22th November 2020

Bugs:

  • Demo generator didn't allways generate valid code
  • Stopped the generator from generating surplus classes.

Features

  • Non object arrays are now mapped into a TList instead of TArray
  • Added a settings dialog and settings class
  • Properties in PascalCase (Setting)
  • Allways use JsonName property annotation (Setting)
  • Support for objects with diffrents properties in an Array

Eg this JSON

{
   "ArrayTest":[
      {
           "S1":"5102"
      },
      {
           "S2":"True"
      }
   ]
}

Generates the following DTO:

  TArrayTestDTO = class
  private
    FS1: string;
    FS2: string;
  published
    property S1: string read FS1 write FS1;
    property S2: string read FS2 write FS2;
  end;

Previous changes

  • Only floating point numbers are mapped to Double
  • Numbers are mapped to Integer or Int64 depending on their size
  • Generated code restructored, and simplified
  • Generated classes inheriteds from TJsonDTO
  • Socurce Code restructored
  • Parser logic seperated from GUI logic
  • Fixed bug in the RegEx for recognizing an ISO8601 Date
  • Serialization removed the "noise" of List i.e. includes internal properties that did not exist in the original JSON string.
  • Generated code uses TObjectList

Generates Delphi Classes based on JSON string. Just like XML Data Binding, but for JSON.

Main features

  • Build entirely on the RTL (no external dependencies) so it's cross-platform;
  • Accepts any valid JSON string, no matter how complex the object is;
  • Visualizes the structure of the JSON objects in a treeview;
  • Generates complete delphi unit (declaration and implementation), based on the JSON string input;
  • Automatically prefixes reserved Delphi words with "&" (ampersand);
  • Support for JSON string that contains empty Array;
  • Adds support code to automatically destroy complex sub types. So you don't have to manage subobject's lifetime manually;
  • Uses TObjectList to represent lists;
  • Adds helper serialization/deserialization functions;
  • Serialization and deserialization results in the same JSON structure!
  • Automatically detects date/datetime parts and maps them to TDate/TDateTime (as long as dates are ISO8601 compliant);
  • Maps floating point numbers to Double
  • Maps Number to Integer or Int64 depending on the number
  • Maps true/false values to Boolean;
  • Supports JSON pretty print to format the input string;
  • Simple and responsive GUI;
  • Automatic check for update, based on ITask (Parallel Programming Library)!
  • It's open source! You can find the source code and binary releases on GitHub.
  • If the JSON array is empty the contained type is unknown. Unit generation works only with known and supported types.

*** The releases of JsonToDelphiClass (source and binaries) are public and reside on GitHub. The update unit uses GitHub's REST API to enumerate tags/releases.
