TwinCAT.JsonExtension

TwinCAT variables to and from json

Bring the power of Json.Net to TwinCAT

Tranform DUTs decorated with the custom Json-Attribute like this:

TYPE JsonDUT :
STRUCT
	{attribute 'json' := 'message'}
	sMessage : STRING := 'test';
	iResponse : INT;
	{attribute 'json' := 'status'}
	sStatus : STRING := 'success';
	{attribute 'json' := 'numbers'}
	daNumbers : ARRAY[1..3] OF DINT := [1,2,3];
END_STRUCT
END_TYPE

into this (and back) recursively and absolutely type-independent:

{
  "message": "test",
  "status" : "success",
  "numbers" : [1,2,3]
}

only calling this two extension methods on your connected TcAdsClient:

var json = await client.ReadJson("GVL.JsonDutVariable")

await client.WriteJson("GVL.JsonDutVariable", json);

Have fun using this simple package and don't forget to star this project!
