JSON encoding utilities for Lavash optimistic state.
Handles encoding of Elixir-specific types that Jason doesn't support natively:
- Tuples are encoded as arrays (e.g.,
{:edit, "uuid"}→["edit", "uuid"]) - Atoms are encoded as strings (already supported by Jason)
- All other types pass through to Jason
This allows idiomatic Elixir tagged unions like:
nil | :create | {:edit, id}To be serialized for JavaScript as:
null | "create" | ["edit", "uuid"]Summary
Functions
Decodes JSON and converts arrays back to tuples where appropriate.
Encodes a value to JSON, converting tuples to arrays.
Prepares a value for JSON encoding by converting tuples to lists recursively.
Restores Elixir types from JSON-decoded values.
Functions
Decodes JSON and converts arrays back to tuples where appropriate.
Arrays that look like tagged tuples (first element is a string that looks like an atom) are converted back to tuples.
Examples
iex> Lavash.JSON.decode!(""create"")
:create
iex> Lavash.JSON.decode!("["edit","uuid-123"]")
{:edit, "uuid-123"}Encodes a value to JSON, converting tuples to arrays.
Examples
iex> Lavash.JSON.encode!(:create)
""create""
iex> Lavash.JSON.encode!({:edit, "uuid-123"})
"["edit","uuid-123"]"
iex> Lavash.JSON.encode!(nil)
"null"Prepares a value for JSON encoding by converting tuples to lists recursively.
Restores Elixir types from JSON-decoded values.
- Strings that look like atoms (lowercase, underscores) become atoms
- Arrays that look like tagged tuples become tuples
