jsx (v0.10.0)
a sane json implementation for erlang
quickstart
make or ./rebar compile
jsx:json_to_term/1,2 takes a utf8 encoded (binary) json text and produces a term as detailed below
jsx:term_to_json/1,2 takes a term conforming to the mapping detailed below and produces a utf8 encoded (binary) json text
options for either are:
* loose_unicode
* explicit_end
* escape_forward_slash
use loose_unicode to replace invalid utf8 sequences with u+FFFD instead of throwing an error
use explicit_end when parsing binary streams with indeterminate ends, like naked integers or json values with trailing whitespace
use escape_forward_slash to escape forward slashes, which is required to produce microsoft's silly date format
jsx:format/1,2 takes a utf8 encoded (binary) json text and produces the same, reformatted.
options are:
* {space, N}
* {indent, N}
the opt space will insert N spaces after every colon and comma, indent will insert a newline after every comma and N preceding spaces for every level of indent
