GlobalToJSON-Efficient

This package offers a utility to load a Global into JSON object and to create a
Global from this type of JSON object. Efficient refers to the structure created.
Only Globals nodes containing data are presented in the generated JSON object.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have git and Docker desktop installed.

Installation

Clone/git pull the repo into any local directory

git clone https://github.com/rcemper/GlobalToJSON-Efficient.git

Run the IRIS container with your project:

docker-compose up -d --build

How to Test it

This is the pre-loaded Global ^dc.MultiD for testing.

Open IRIS terminal

$ docker-compose exec iris iris session iris

Now we want to verify the load function.
First we make a copy of our source and then delete the source
After the load operation the source Global is completely restored

USER>merge ^keep=^dc.MultiD  

USER>kill ^dc.MultiD

USER>set sc=##class(dc.GblToJSON.E).load(json)

USER>zw sc
sc=1

USER>zw ^dc.MultiD
^dc.MultiD=5
^dc.MultiD(1)=$lb("Braam,Ted Q.",51353)
^dc.MultiD(1,"mJSON")="{}"
^dc.MultiD(2)=$lb("Klingman,Uma C.",62459)
^dc.MultiD(2,2,"Multi","a")=1
^dc.MultiD(2,2,"Multi","rob",1)="rcc"
^dc.MultiD(2,2,"Multi","rob",2)=2222
^dc.MultiD(2,"Multi","a")=1
^dc.MultiD(2,"Multi","rob",1)="rcc"
^dc.MultiD(2,"Multi","rob",2)=2222
^dc.MultiD(2,"mJSON")="{""A"":""ahahah"",""Rob"":""VIP"",""Rob2"":1111,""Rob3"":true}"
^dc.MultiD(3)=$lb("Goldman,Kenny H.",45831)
^dc.MultiD(3,"mJSON")="{}"
^dc.MultiD(4)=$lb("","")
^dc.MultiD(4,"mJSON")="{""rcc"":122}"
^dc.MultiD(5)=$lb("","")
^dc.MultiD(5,"mJSON")="{}"

New Version 0.1.0

The new version takes care of large Globals that may break your available memory.
So the JSON Object is exported to a file.

USER>write ##class(dc.GblToJSON.EX).export("^dc.MultiD")
File gbl.json created

And the related loader creates the Global

USER>write ##class(dc.GblToJSON.EX).import()
Global ^dc.MultiD loaded

and to see the generated file there is a show() method

USER>write ##class(dc.GblToJSON.EX).show()
{"gbl":[
{"node":"^dc.MultiD","val":5},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(1)","val":"$lb(\"Braam,Ted Q.\",51353)"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(1,\"mJSON\")","val":"{}"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(2)","val":"$lb(\"Klingman,Uma C.\",62459)"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(2,2,\"Multi\",\"a\")","val":1},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(2,2,\"Multi\",\"rob\",1)","val":"rcc"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(2,2,\"Multi\",\"rob\",2)","val":2222},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(2,\"Multi\",\"a\")","val":1},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(2,\"Multi\",\"rob\",1)","val":"rcc"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(2,\"Multi\",\"rob\",2)","val":2222},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(2,\"mJSON\")","val":"{\"A\":\"ahahah\",\"Rob\":\"VIP\",\"Rob2\":1111,\"Rob3\":true}"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(3)","val":"$lb(\"Goldman,Kenny H.\",45831)"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(3,\"mJSON\")","val":"{}"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(4)","val":"$lb(\"\",\"\")"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(4,\"mJSON\")","val":"{\"rcc\":122}"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(5)","val":"$lb(\"\",\"\")"},
{"node":"^dc.MultiD(5,\"mJSON\")","val":"{}"}
