Erlang port

[raghu]

Dear Andy,

Have a quick design question:
- Why did you choose to differentiate {.section} and {.repeated
section}? To my understanding, both offer the same functionality (of
course .section doesn't repeat). You could have chosen to repeat, when
the json data for the section is in an array... Sure, I am missing
something! Could you please throw some light on this.

I would like to port jsontemplate to erlang. Is their any test suite
that I can run through?

Thanks,
Raghu

Right, it's not strictly necessary:

As mentioned in the bug, this behavior can be "upgraded" without
breaking compatibility.

See:

http://groups.google.com/group/json-template/browse_thread/thread/a711cd22b418f10f#

The test framework is my own and doesn't have very nice output or
documentation. But people have managed to hack it (Java, PHP). If
you have problems with it let me know -- I'm actively working on it.

thanks,
Andy
