I have used restful web services also connecting to other sites web api. Now I am working to provide the same style of services to access our data. I see that the json stuff is not yet documented in Xbase++ 2.0. Do you have your functions implemented yet in Express++. I see them mentioned in your post.

I have attached a small test program that uses DC_Array2Js() and DC_Array2Xml().

Create a new \exp19\samples\web folder and unzip the attached files in that folder.
Run PBUILD RestFul.xpj.

This isn't really a Restful app but it shows how the same data can be rendered in a browse, json or xml.

Here is a CXP application that outputs data in many formats: Text, Html, Json, Xml :
