Serialization and tagged literals EDN

[thenwithexpandedwingshesteershisflight]

I would like to serialize form in EDN to a redis server, but I don't know how to handle types which need special handling, for example I have some PriorityMaps which I would like to be serialized with a special tag to differentiate them from regular maps, and so they can be read back in via a special handler to reconstruct them properly. How can I do that ?

Redis just returns strings, so you could just have the first character
describe what the rest of the body contains, and drop that character
before deserializing. There are other approaches too, obviously, but
that's one of the simplest.
