Custom converters

[huming2207]

Hi,

I'm writing a program which needs to convert ISO8601 time string (e.g. 2018-02-22T13:21:00Z as general or 20180222T132100Z for some special cases) to time_t or struct std::tm.

Currently I'm using strptime() function to parse the time string to those two time data types. I'm wondering if I can use .as<time_t>() or .as<struct std::tm>()?

Regards,
Jackson

Hi Jackson,

I plan on adding custom converters in the future so that anyone can enrich ArduinoJson to support new types.
Unfortunately, I'm currently in the middle of a transformation in the API, so this new feature will have to wait a little.

Hi Benoit,

Thanks for your works, I'm looking forward to try that.

Hi
I would also like to chime in on this. I'm currently looking for a way to have enum values serialized as names and not as numbers. I guess custom converters would be a way to implement this.
