Dict, Json & type

[Ralf Wolter]

My application uses a web socket hub to communicate between a Javascript Client and a Prolog server. The communication is in json format. I'm using atom_json_dict to convert the hub.queue.event data into a dict.

atom_string(Atom, Data),
atom_json_dict(Atom, JSONDict, []),

This does not convert the type field to the dictionary tag. According to the manual json_read_dict does convert the type field. I would like to use this predicate but it requires input as a stream while http/hub provides a string.

How can I convert a string to a stream for json_read_dict and is it worth it?
