In an article on the enhancements that were added to the stand alone compiler in R2, I remarked on an issue on how file version information was handled in the initial release, and which was still a problem in R2. Fortunately, R3 corrects that issue.

PowerBuilder 2017 R2 added a number of REST features, which I covered in a previous blog post. One area for improvement on the original feature was better support for REST authentication methods. The HTTPClient and RESTClient objects provided methods to set request headers, but doing the legwork needed for some of the more complex authentication mechanism (i.e., OAuth) were left to the developer. PowerBuilder 2017 R3 addresses that. In this blog post we'll look at using this new feature.

There were some JSON features introduced in 2017 R2, in particular the JSONGenerator and JSONParser, which were covered in a previous blog post. 2017 R3 introduces additional important JSON features, in particular JSON import/export from a DataWindow, and a JSONPackage object that is used to merge/extract JSON data sets. Those will be covered in this blog post.
