This library provides a natively implemented JSON encoder and decoder for Elixir.
All contributions are welcome.
Simply add {:json, "~> 0.3.0"}
to your project's mix.exs
file, in the dependencies list and run mix deps.get json
.
Example for a project that already uses Dynamo:
defp deps do
[ { :cowboy, "~> 1.0.0" },
{ :dynamo, github: "elixir-lang/dynamo" },
{ :json, "~> 0.3.0"} ]
end
JSON.encode([result: "this will be a elixir result"])
{:ok, "{\"result\":\"this will be a elixir result\"}"}
JSON.decode("{\"result\":\"this will be a elixir result\"}")
{:ok, [result: "this will be a elixir result"]}
Elixir JSON includes a convenient filter for the Dynamo web framework.
If you want to use it, simply add Elixir JSON to your project's dependencies, and add the following line to your router:
filter JSON.Dynamo.Filter
Afterwards, to generate JSON responses, simply use conn.put_private
and set the :result_object
to whatever you want to be converted to JSON:
get "/whoami" do
conn.put_private :result_object, [ name: "Carlos", city: "New York", likes: "Programming" ]
end
