Kbmmw_Element and unnecessary elements

[mrluigi2017]

Hi,

I implementing a REST client for an existing REST API which I don’t control. The thing is that the JSON for the REST API uses unnecessary elements for instance:

{  “FiEntryPar”: {    “Element”: {      “Fields”: {        “Year”: 2025      }    }  }}

My Delphi Objects follow the same structure and that is a bit confusing in my opinion. Is there a way to avoid these unnecessary objects in my Delphi application but keep the mapping intact?

I am looking for something like this. [kbmMW_Element(‘Element.Fields.Year’)]

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
How many fields are we talking about?
If it is only a few, then it perhaps would be easier to either simply load the JSON and use it’s Path method where you can type ‘//Element/Fields’. Eg.

var
n:TkbmMWONNative;
begin
n:=TkbmMWONNative(json.Path(‘//Element/Fields/Year’,[mwonpoLastIsValue]);
if n<>nil then
year:=n.AsInt32;
…
end;

You can even cook that into a specific custom class for the marshaller to use automatically.

Check TkbmMWONStreamMarshal for an example of how to do a custom class marshaller.
