The support is superb, I agree.

What I'd like to see from this is a simple sample of an EWB class, some
JSON, and the implementation that loads and saves it. Something that
can then be adopted as the template by others who want to serialise in
this way. I realise that's a big ask though.

I put up an example project (it will be included with the release), that
shows how to do the save/load:

http://www.elevatesoft.com:8081/persistence/persistence.html

Just modify the property values (without breaking the JSON, please Smiley, and
then click on the Load Properties from Control button.  Then you can click
on the Copy buttons to test moving the property values back and forth.  Use
the Reset button to start over again.

The code is pretty basic:

  TCustomer = class(TPersistent)
     private
        FCustomerID: String;
        FCompanyName: String;
        FAddress1: String;
        FAddress2: String;
        FCity: String;
        FStateProvince: String;
        FZipPostalCode: String;
        FCountry: String;
        FTerms: String;
        FNotes: String;
        FContact: String;
        FContactEmail: String;
        FContactPhone: String;
     published
        property CustomerID: String read FCustomerID write FCustomerID;
        property CompanyName: String read FCompanyName write FCompanyName;
        property Address1: String read FAddress1 write FAddress1;
        property Address2: String read FAddress2 write FAddress2;
        property City: String read FCity write FCity;
        property StateProvince: String read FStateProvince write
FStateProvince;
        property ZipPostalCode: String read FZipPostalCode write
FZipPostalCode;
        property Country: String read FCountry write FCountry;
        property Terms: String read FTerms write FTerms;
        property Notes: String read FNotes write FNotes;
        property Contact: String read FContact write FContact;
        property ContactEmail: String read FContactEmail write
FContactEmail;
        property ContactPhone: String read FContactPhone write
FContactPhone;
     end;

procedure TMainForm.CreateCustomers;
begin
  Customer1:=TCustomer.Create;
  Customer2:=TCustomer.Create;
end;

procedure TMainForm.FreeCustomers;

  Customer1.Free;
  Customer1:=nil;
  Customer2.Free;
  Customer2:=nil;

  Reader.Initialize(Cust1Props); // Cust1Props is a constant with the
initial JSON values
  Customer1.Load(Reader);
