json

[Andreas Stenius]

Hi,

What is the easiest way to convert json back to term format?

Hi,

As I recall, Mochiweb has a function for that. But my memory may be faulty.

Best wishes,

Reference: http://doc.erlagner.org/mochiweb/mochijson2.html

mochijson2 module has a decode/1 function with this type signature:

decode(S::iolist()) -> json_term()

see type definitions in the reference documentation above.

HTH,
Susan

Thank you; that's exactly what I was looking for!

Saved me the search :)

Note that mochijson2 expects json to be strictly in standard format, with quoted keys. That is, {"key": "value"} is ok, {key: "value"} is not.

Moreover, the structure returned by mochijson2 is quite cumbersome, but you'll get used to it :) (mochijson module returns a simpler structure, but I think it may loose some types in the process)
