[fpc-devel] restbase.pp LoadFromJSON calling StopRecordPropertyChanges;

[Wayne Sherman]

I see a couple of problems TBaseObject.SaveToJSON

1) TBaseObject.SaveToJSON cannot distinguish properties that are part
of the REST protocol from properties that are not part of it.  It only
knows that properties which have been modified are part of the rest
protocol, but properties which have not been modified might be part of
the REST protocol or might not be.  For example, a client receives a
JSON object from a server (via LoadFromJSON) and wants to persist the
complete JSON object to disk, database, or send it to another server.
But, at present, there is no way to save all the properties that are
part of the REST protocol without getting contaminated with non-REST
properties.

2) Lack of control.  With TBaseObject.SaveToJSON it would be nice to
control what is saved (Save all REST properties, or Save modified REST
properties).
