I want to serialize a generic TList
to JSON using the mORMot framework.
I know there is a TDynList
which has a convenient method called SaveToJSON
, but it not suit for me.
This is my simple demo:
program Project3;
{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}
{$R *.res}
uses
System.SysUtils, System.Generics.Collections, SynCommons, SynDB, SynDBODBC, mORMot, mORMotSQLite3;
const
CONN_STR =
'Driver=MySQL ODBC 5.3 UNICODE Driver;Database=test;Server=127.0.0.1;Port=3306;UID=root;Pwd=';
type
TRows = TList<Variant>;
TDbService = class
constructor Create(const ConnStr: RawUTF8); overload;
destructor Destroy; override;
protected
fConnStr: RawUTF8;
fProps: TODBCConnectionProperties;
function GetConnection: TODBCConnectionProperties;
function Query(const Sql: RawUTF8; const Params: array of const): TRows;
public
function GetSpecificUserList(Offset, Limit: Integer): TRows;
end;
{ TDbService }
constructor TDbService.Create(const ConnStr: RawUTF8);
begin
fConnStr := ConnStr;
end;
destructor TDbService.Destroy;
begin
inherited;
end;
function TDbService.GetConnection: TODBCConnectionProperties;
begin
Result := TODBCConnectionProperties.Create('', fConnStr, '', '');
end;
function TDbService.Query(const Sql: RawUTF8; const Params: array of const): TRows;
var
Props: TODBCConnectionProperties;
Row: ISQLDBRows;
V: Variant;
begin
Props := GetConnection;
Result := TRows.Create;
try
try
Row := Props.Execute(Sql, Params);
while Row.Step do
begin
Row.RowDocVariant(V);
Result.Add(Row);
end;
except
FreeAndNil(Result);
raise
end;
finally
Props.Free;
end;
end;
function TDbService.GetSpecificUserList(Offset, Limit: Integer): TRows;
begin
// It calls a stored procedure, the Result will be a TList<Variant> .
// Each Variant has properties like name, age, etc. as it's an User representation but not from any existed table) .
Result := Query('CALL GetSpecUserList_P(?, ?)', [Offset, Limit]);
end;
{ Main }
procedure Main;
var
DbService: TDbService;
Rows: TList<Variant>;
begin
DbService := TDbService.Create(CONN_STR);
try
Rows := DbService.GetSpecificUserList(0, 100);
// How to serialize `Rows` to a JSON string? I'm not using TDynList because it could only hold of records, but not Variant.
finally
DbService.Free;
end;
end;
begin
Main;
end.
How to convert Rows
to a JSON string? I'm not using TDynList because it could only hold of records, but not Variant.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
