Answer 1

You can serialize your record using the RTTI, from here you can use XML, JSON or other format to persist the record data.

If you don't want write your own method to serialize the records try these alternatives.

• superobject (using the TSuperRttiContext class you can serialize a record to JSON)
• TKBDynamic
• SynCommons unit from Synopse.
• XmlSerial unit (Object and Record Serialization and De-serialization to XML) from Robert Love
