Serialize non-published items without custom reader/writer

Hi

Just started looking into this framework.

For now, I am trying to serialize an object (ie descendant of TObject) into JSON (and back again).

It seems that the default (basic) methods - eg ObjectToJSON - only work against Published items.  Is that true?  Do I really need to make all my properties published to have them automatically serialized by the default parser?  Or if I don't want to do that, do I have to create my own custom Reader/Writer methods to do the serialization for me?  Seems a lot of work with the advanced RTTI nowadays.

Thanks!

Re: Serialize non-published items without custom reader/writer

Only published fields are serialized, by design.

If you want an object which would be a value object, consider using a record instead.
