Which Web Service?

For simple REST client using some of our units, see http://stackoverflow.com/a/22078557/458259

Thanks for the example, this is what I need.
This post has a response with a json object, how can I get this response?
Sorry I'd never worked with web services.

TWinHttp.Post() returns a string.
Just pass it into a TDocVariant:

uses SynCrtSock, SynCommons;
var t,resp: variant;
begin
  TDocVariant.New(t);
  t.name := 'john';
  t.year := 1982;
  resp := _JsonFast(TWinHTTP.Post('http://servername/resourcename',t,'Content-Type: application/json'));
  if resp.firstname='John' then
    ....
end;

Hi Arnaud,

Looks like TWinHTTP includes all functionalities needed to implement a generic REST client?


Delphi XE4 Pro on Windows 7 64bit.
Lazarus trunk built with fpcupdelux on Windows with cross-compile for Linux 64bit.

Yes, it is a brand full HTTP client access.

If you add TDocVariant/TDocVariantData for JSON support, you should have all you need.

What if I post a flac audio file (or stream) for the google Speech Api? TDocVarient will handle this?

No here you use RawByteString, with the proper mime type specified in the HTTP headers.

TDocVariant is for json content.
