Just wanted to point out these open source projects written by Jason Southwell, who in addition to being a well known Delphi developer out there is also my boss! Hi!

Anyways, I use these libraries where we both work, and I think you should all check them out.


SIVV Open source is on bitbucket ...

A few example projects:

Chimera Networking and JSON Library

Chimera project includes chimera.json, a very fast JSON library, and a bayeux (pubsub) network protocol client, and other things.

CocinAsync

Networking/threading/async library. It recently grew some new "flux" like capabilities for event driven programming.

DuckDuckDelphi

A nifty duck-typing facility built over delphi RTTI facilities. As the comments state in the project source:

// Instead of:
// if obj is TControl then
// TControl(obj).Visible := True
//
// You can simply call
// obj.duck.setTo('Visible',True);

The call will do nothing silently instead of blowing up if you had done a bad runtime cast. It's a nice pattern.
