Question 1

How to install QuickLib in Delphi using GetIt?

Accepted Answer

QuickLib is listed on RAD Studio's GetIt package manager; search for 'QuickLib' and click install. For manual setup, clone the GitHub repository and add the QuickLib folder to your Delphi library path as per the README.

Question 2

Does QuickLib fully support FreePascal on Linux?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but with limitations: FreePascal compatibility is noted for Windows and Linux, yet features like RTTI for public properties in JSON serialization are Delphi-only, affecting some utilities.

Question 3

How to handle background tasks with retry policies in QuickLib?

Accepted Answer

Use the Quick.Threads unit with TRunTask or TBackgroundTasks, defining retry policies via WaitAndRetry methods and event handlers for exceptions, as shown in the README code snippets for task management.

Question 4

QuickLib vs Spring4D for dependency injection in Delphi?

Accepted Answer

QuickLib's IOC container is simpler and tightly integrated with its other utilities, ideal for all-in-one solutions. Spring4D offers a more mature, standalone DI framework with broader community adoption; choose based on project scope and existing dependencies.

Question 5

What's the license for QuickLib, and can I use it commercially?

Accepted Answer

Check the GitHub repository for specific licensing, but as an open-source project, it's typically free for commercial use under permissive terms like MIT or BSD, though the README doesn't explicitly state it.

Question 6

How to serialize objects to YAML with QuickLib?

Accepted Answer

Use the Quick.YAML.Serializer unit: instantiate TYamlSerializer and call ObjectToYaml for serialization or YamlToObject for deserialization, supporting published properties as documented.

Question 7

Are there performance benchmarks for QuickLib's caching?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't provide benchmarks, but TMemoryCache includes configurable compression and expiration; performance depends on data size and usage, so test in your specific context for optimization.
