SAP provides some classes to serialize and deserialize arbitrary ABAP variables. Unfortunately all of them have some disadvantages. The classes are often to complex to use. One method call should be enough to serialize. It is not necessary to call constructor and multiple methods. But a real problem of most classes is, that they just dump for some data constallations, e.g. if the variable contains json Control character like [, ], { or }. Even the colon can cause Problems.
Since the implementaion is easy, we made our own. I am sure that also our own implementation will have bugs... but we can correct them quickly, what is not possible with the SAP's standard classes
