Take any encoded JSON (as a Json.Encode.JsonValue
) and decode it into an Elm value.
A custom type that represents possible JSON values as an Elm type.
decode : Json.Decode.Decoder JsonValue
A decoder for coverting a Json.Encode.JsonValue
into a JsonValue
.
If you run decode
on the following JSON:
{
"name": "John",
"age": 10,
"money": 10.2,
"isTired": "true",
"objects": [ "wallet", "phone", "keys" ]
}
You will get the following JsonValue
result:
JsonObject
(Dict.fromList
[ ( "name", JsonString "John" )
, ( "age", JsonInt 10 )
, ( "money", JsonFloat 10.2 )
, ( "isTired", JsonBool True )
, ( "object"
, JsonList
[ JsonString "wallet"
, JsonString "phone"
, JsonString "keys"
]
)
]
)
You can then manipulate the returned Elm type however you'd like in your program!
