Is there no "serialize object" kind of function?

[kardall]

I want to serialize a characters equipment/clothing or whatever else I need/want.

But nothing seems to exist to just iterate over an object, create a json structure from each entry in it. I see C++ code that someone tried to do this.

Am I missing something?

Example:

Character Creator has a "saved variables" object that contains a characters details (appearance) that I want to send to a database for character storage. So I need to basically create an object like:

{
    "characterName":"Person",
    "morphValues": [
        "1.0","2.0","1.1"
    ],
    "hairNames":[
        "long"
    ],
    "apparelNames": [
        "long_sleeved_shirt",
        "cargo_pants"
    ],
    "class":"human_male"
}

That is the data structure. I don't care if it has extra things right now... just want it to work, and I can figure out the rest later on the back-end or clean it up manually using a custom struct in blueprint if I have to.

Every other language has it built in, but I am not familiar enough with C++ to try to code my own thing. I will if I have to, but... there should be some way to just 'Serialize Object to VaRest Json Object' that you can then use the "Encode Json to Single String" to attach to a post body in Json for the CallUrl function...

I found a plugin that does exactly what I wanted. It's called DBJson on the marketplace. it's free as well... Maybe you could implement it in your plugin.

hi! did you know how to use it, struct as varest request object input parameters?

I used a plug in called dbjson which has a serialize and deserialize function.

It let's me take a struct and add it to a string field.
