XML Thunder - How It Works

Thunder generates all of the source code required for COBOL programs to interface with JSON. Using the toolset’s Visual Designer, develop JSON Handlers to convert (i.e. parse) JSON messages to program fields or create JSON messages from program fields. These JSON Handlers – called Readers and Writers – are created in just three easy steps.

SELECT

Your program field source1 and JSON layout source2

MAP

Specific program fields to specific JSON nodes

GENERATE

COBOL code to create or parse JSON3
