Exposing json reader and writer?

[BjørnarSundsbø]

Hi

Have you considered exposing the reader and writer classes as public? I've been tinkering with simulating a REST service so I can use FeatureLayer to get features from MXD documents where ArcGIS server is not available. Writing code to read and write json from and to the ESRI.ArcGIS.Client classes used by the featurelayer is quite time consuming. Considering the WPF Api already do the job, it would be nice to be able to use the classes.

Have you thought about this approach?

Not really. I'm not sure how to get that approach working with FeatureLayer  (get the features), as this layer already has the required functionality for everything else I currently need. I would like to use the same layers and leave the client code unchanged if the customer gets an ArcGIS server. Only change the url.
