Can I use mORMot as a Rest Client Library?

I need to access a third-part Rest server (that I have no control) - it will return JSON data.

Is it possible to use mORMot as a Rest Client Library? For example, I'd like to use mORMot to access the JSON data, transform it to Delphi Object, then persist the data to another RDBMS.

Is mORMot a good candidate to accomplish this? Is there any document or sample that I can follow?

Thank you

I would recommend taking a look at SynCrtSock unit, there are several client classes. I'm using mostly TWinHTTP-based classes for many third-party REST services with different rather complex schemas. But probably the fastest and easiest way might be TSimpleHttpClient.

Thank you @Vitaly.  Appreciate your suggestion.  Following your suggestion, I looked into SynCrtSock.pas, and end up using HttpGet directly, and _JsonFast.
