We are currently generating XML data based on DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXML() to send it to client.

Instead of xml , we want to send data as JSON. Is there anything similar to DBMS_XMLGEN.GETXML to generate json ?

Lots of new goodies in 12.2 for that.

Here's a link to a 12.2 hands on lab

and an excellent blog post by Marco Grailke

In 12.1, its a little more manual. My colleague Dan McGhan did a nice coverage of them
