hi, the JSON module can only encode objects if they provide an encode_json function. i find this a bit limiting because it is hardly possible to add encode_json to all classes that would need it.
better would be to allow the caller of JSON.encode provide a callback for objects that the module can't handle by itself. it seems to me the simplest would be to add an argument to JSON.encode to allow passing a function. and then call that function of the object has none of its own. i am unfamiliar with CMODs but i think in src/post_modules/JSON/json.cmod i need to add the function to the encode_context and then call it in the PIKE_T_OBJECT case. also what i am wondering is, should i store the whole svalue for the function or just the functionpointer itself? (is that u.efun->function?) greetings, martin.
