Hey all!

There's a whole lot of people that get stuck on various JSON Decoding situations 'round these parts. Folks aren't shipping their apps because of it. It makes me sad, since the Json.Decode API is so great. Composable functions! Woohoo!

Most of the problem seems to be that it's hard to get a higher level understanding of JSON Decoders. People starting out don't know how to use dict or to avoid maybe, much less tools like json-to-elm or Json.Decode.PIpeline.

So I've written a book about that: The JSON Survival Kit. https://www.brianthicks.com/json-survival-kit/

Hi all,

I was n doubt if I should or should not buy the book because I couldn't find some extra infos. I bought it anyway. So if anyone is still pondering:
  • Format: PDF ✔️ ePub ✔️ mobi ✔️ all of them available
  • Length: the PDF version (kind of A5 size) has 50 pages
  • Elm 0.18 ✔️
Cheers,
(and thanks Brian!)

Haha, wow, that’s egg on my face! I added that information to Gumroad last night but never saved it, apparently. Fixed now!

The PDF is US Letter size (8.5x11 inches). It’s closest to A4. If someone wants to print a paper copy, I’m happy to make a PDF of whatever size you’d prefer. :)
