    43431) The !MgJsonDoc Class [[BR]]
    44 - !MgJsonDoc is a wrapper over the jsoncpp implementation. !MgJsonDoc provides many easy-to-use interfaces, such as Begin* and End*, for creating JSON documents from an XML perspective. For example, to create as JSON document for the corresponding XML content---<Node>Text</Node>---, one would call !BeginObject("Node"), !SetValue("Text"), and !EndObject() subsequently.

    92 (1) Web-tier changes -- every !ToXml function is matched with an !ToJson function implementation that creates a JSON document in place, [[BR]]

     92(1) Web-tier changes -- every !ToXml function is matched with an !ToJson function implementation that creates a JSON document in place. [[BR]]
    9393(2) Web-tier changes -- utilizes the !MgXmlJsonConvert class to convert XML documents to JSON documents. [[BR]]
    9494(3) Server changes -- an extra parameter "CREFSTRING format" has been added to the respective API call; the !MgXmlJsonConvert class is used if format equals to the JSON MIME type. [[BR]]
    95 (4) Server changes -- an extra API has been added matching the respective API call (e.g. !DescribeSchemaAsXml has !DescribeSchemaAsJson as the JSON version, and !GetFDOCacheInfo has !GetFDOCacheInfoAsJson as its JSON specific implementation); this is because the original APIs return "STRING" and could not be efficiently adapted by the conversion process within the !MgXmlJsonConvert class implementation; and for the affected APIs, the !MgByteReader* is returned instead.
