Prerequisites

/ORK/CORE targets systems with SAP_BASIS >= 758. Import it with abapGit as an online repository:

https://github.com/eplamsi/ork_core.git

Use the repository defaults (Folder Logic: Full), pull the objects into your target package, and activate the imported objects.

The development keys for /ORK/ are listed in SAP’s ABAP Open Source Namespaces registry.

ABAP For Cloud

The library is designed for ABAP for Cloud use. The exception is /ork/cl_weak_ref, which depends on cl_abap_weak_reference; keep that object out of Cloud-restricted code paths.

SAP has been informed of the need for weak reference support in the cloud.

First Useful Call

The public entry points are usually static factories or singleton facades. A compact first check is to parse JSON and serialize it again:

DATA(json) = /ork/cl_json=>parse->string(
  `{ "name": "ORK", "active": true }`
).

DATA(text) = json->to_string( ).

Next, read the Key Concepts guide to understand the package layout and API conventions. For JSON-specific methods, see the /ork/cl_json reference and the node interfaces.
