reply_json error with compound term

[JP Thompson]

I get an error when I try to send a json reply that includes a compound term:

 

?- reply_json(json(['A'=p(p)])).

Content-type: application/json

{

ERROR: atom_length/2: Type error: `list' expected, found `p(p)'




 Is it possible to make the term p(p) serialize to the string 'p(p)' when using reply_json?

 

[Jan Wielemaker]

In general, this is a bad idea as if the term you pass is by accident some
valid Prolog representation of a JSON term, you'll get totally unexpected
JSON. It can be practical though, so I've added an option
serialize_unknown(true)
that does this. Use with care. Available in the development git version.
