Rendering and parsing run through data references, so it can also build a `table of ref to data` whose lines are each of a different ABAP type, which an ordinary internal table cannot express. The maintainer wrote it after working through the ways ABAP already offers — the identity transformation, the sXML library, /UI2/CL_JSON and XCO_CP_JSON — and compares their features and speed in a separate [benchmark](https://github.com/abapify/json-benchmark) project. It depends on [codepage](artifact:abapify-codepage) and on [ZCL_ABAP_CASE](https://github.com/abapify/case), two more libraries by [abapify](actor:abapify)."},"links":{"repo":"https://github.com/abapify/json"},"identity":{"license":"MIT"},"maintainers":["actor:abapify"],"source_available":true,"provides":[{"capability":"capability:serialisation","what_it_does":"Renders ABAP data to JSON and parses JSON back through the standard identity transformation, adding automatic camelCase/CAMEL_CASE property-name conversion and support for polymorphic arrays via data references.","sources":[{"url":"https://github.com/abapify/json","title":"abapify/json — README","checked":"2026-09-14","quote":"Using standard identity transformation supporting all available types mapping automatically"},{"url":"https://github.com/abapify/json","title":"abapify/json — README, Support polymorphic arrays","checked":"2026-09-14","quote":"As a result of data refs support we can also support `table of ref to data` which allows us to build arrays where every line may be of a different type."}]}],"requires":[{"ref":"artifact:abapify-codepage","for":"one of the two libraries the README lists under Dependencies, beside ZCL_ABAP_CASE; the test dependencies are listed separately","requirement":"required","sources":[{"url":"https://github.com/abapify/json","title":"abapify/json — README, Dependencies","checked":"2026-09-14","quote":"## Dependencies\n- [ZCL_ABAP_CASE](https://github.com/abapify/case)\n- [ZCL_ABAP_CODEPAGE](https://github.com/abapify/codepage)"}]}],"drafted_with_ai":true,"provenance":{"discovered_via":[{"source":"source:curator"}],"first_seen":"2026-09-14"},"contributors":["actor:theplenkov"]},"effective_normative_relations":[],"readings":{"liveness":[{"label":"Maintenance","tier":"unknown","evidence":"no release data"},{"label":"Continuity","tier":"fair","evidence":"1 contributor, org-owned"},{"label":"Repository","tier":"poor","evidence":"pushed 2025-02, not archived"}],"compatibility":[{"label":"Declared for","tier":"fair","evidence":"SAP_BASIS 755 and up, in its abaplint config: not 750 (SAP Business Suite 7 on SAP NetWeaver 7.50, maintained to 2027-12)"},{"label":"Survived majors","tier":"unknown","evidence":"not read on ABAP: its lines run side by side"},{"label":"Maintainer's CI","tier":"fair","evidence":"no CI configured"}],"practice":[{"label":"Tests","tier":"poor","evidence":"none found in the tree"},{"label":"Docs","tier":"good","evidence":"README 5 KB"},{"label":"Changelog","tier":"fair","evidence":"none in the repo"}],"reach":[{"value":null,"unit":"installs/week"},{"value":5,"unit":"watching"}]},"signals":{"crawled_at":"2026-10-24","npm":"not published under this name","stars":5,"forks":0,"open_issues":0,"archived":false,"pushed_at":"2025-02-26","license_spdx":"MIT","org_owned":true,"default_branch":"main","created_at":"2025-02-21T10:19:07Z","open_prs":0,"tree_truncated":false,"test_files":0,"workflows":0,"other_ci":false,"readme_bytes":5274,"docs_files":0,"changelog":false,"license_file":true,"dts_files":0,"first_commit":"2025-02-21","last_commit":"2025-02-26","commits":20,"contributors":1,"readme_path":"README.md","readme_sha":"cb3d652bf66b42645fd71397fea2ace94a682d8d","repo_read":"2026-10-24","abap_syntax":{"repo":"abapify/json","file":"abaplint.jsonc","url":"https://github.com/abapify/json/blob/HEAD/abaplint.jsonc","version":"v755","floor":"755","checked":"2026-10-26"}},"edges":{"maintainers":[{"ref":"actor:abapify","name":"abapify","json":"/actors/abapify.json"}],"contributors":[{"ref":"actor:theplenkov","name":"Petr Plenkov","json":"/actors/theplenkov.json"}],"explained_by":[],"alternative_to_this":[],"needed_by":[],"available_via":[],"parts":[],"add_ons":[],"answered_through_parts":[]}}
