============ erlang-rison

What is this?

A Rison encoder/decoder written in Erlang.

What is Rison?

A data serialization format optimized for compactness in URIs.

See http://mjtemplate.org/examples/rison.html for more information.

How do I use it?

To convert Rison-formatted strings into Erlang terms, use rison:load/1. To do the opposite, use rison:dump/1. For example:

1> rison:load("!t"). {ok, true}

2> rison:load("!(1,2,3)"). {ok,{array,[1,2,3]}}

3> rison:load("123.456e789"). {ok,{number,123,'456',789}}

4> rison:load("abc def"). {error,invalid_input}

5> rison:dump({array,[1,2,3]}). {ok,"!(1,2,3)"}

6> rison:dump({object,[{a,0}]}). {ok,"(a:0)"}

7> rison:dump({}). {error,invalid_input}

Type "make i" to compile the code and get an Erlang shell where you can try out these examples.
