Hi Rick, I'm trying to do some development on my personal desktop (not my webconnect development machine). I don't have web connection installed on my personal machine and would prefer not to. Is there a way I could still use the wwjsonserializer utility class if I don't have webconnection installed? I want to turn a JSON object into a Foxpro object and the wwjsonserializer does it so quickly. If not, no worries, I'll still keep developing for webconnection on my other machine, just thought it would be super convenient.

Yes you can, but there may be a licensing issue if you use it outside of a Web Connection application and outside your own organization (ie. you redistribute your app).

West Wind Client Tools is the distributable version of the library that has the same files, but with a distributable license for embedding into redistributable applications.

All the library files list their dependencies at the top via SET PROCEDURE TO, SET CLASSLIB TO or DO XXX.prg to load dependencies that are required. If I recall wwUtils.prg relies on wwApi.prg.

Thanks Rick, I'm only using it to speed up the development of a class that I will end up using on a web connect server. It's just that I find local development on my machine to be easier.
