hi,
please advise how could an array of records with unknown structure be
converted (marshaled) to JSON. for example:

type
  TExRecord = record
    property1: string;
    property2: string;
  end;

  TArrayRecords = array of TExRecord;   

i have seen https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/fcl/fpjson/index.html
but is there something more generic?
for example something that could work unchanged if i add a third
property to the record (like reflection maybe).

type
  TExRecord = record
    property1: string;
    property2: string;
    property3: string;
  end;

thank you

did not see it.
RecordToJSON looks exactly what i was looking for.
hope it is integrated the soonest in the standard library and an
example added.
thank you
