Hi all,

In discussion with another developer about re-doing a system. This system interacted with a document database and the integration with the VFP app was done with calls that always returned an xml string. The other developer had mentioned using json to return back data from the server.

I have done the wikipedia lookup and have an idea what json data looks like but have some questions:

1) are their json parsers out there for VFP or would I have to write my own; with xml, there were the built in xml functions which I used

2) does json have any advantages over xml?

3) any "gotchas" to watch out for?
