Didn't like the other Delphi JSON parsers out there. They seemed too complicated for the simple task i had for JSON.
So this is my go at it.
This version is only tested on Delphi XE 3, Delphi XE 6 (Android) and Delphi 10 but should work for all Delphi versions that support generics and TStringHelper.
Just include the djson.pas file in your uses list for this to work.
