This library provides a natively implemented JSON encoder and decoder for Elixir.

You can find the package in [hex.pm](https://hex.pm/packages/json) and the documentation in [hexdocs.pm](https://hexdocs.pm/json/readme.html).

All contributions are welcome!

# Installing

Simply add ```{:json, "~> 1.4"}``` to your project's ```mix.exs``` and run ```mix deps.get```.

# Usage

Encoding an Elixir type

```elixir

  @doc "

	JSON encode an Elixir list

  "	

  list = [key: "this will be a value"]

  is_list(list)

  # true

  list[:key]

  # "this will be a value"

  {status, result} = JSON.encode(list)

  # {:ok, "{\"key\":\"this will be a value\"}"}

  String.length(result)

  # 41

```

Decoding a list from a string that contains JSON

```elixir

  @doc "

	JSON decode a string into an Elixir list

  "

  json_input = "{\"key\":\"this will be a value\"}"

  {status, list} = JSON.decode(json_input)

	{:ok, %{"key" => "this will be a value"}}

  list[:key]

  # nil

  list["key"]

  # "this will be a value"

```

At any time, you can turn on verbose logging for this library only. 

To do so, head to config file of your application and add below lines:

```elixir

use Mix.Config

config :logger, level: :debug

config :json, log_level: :debug

```

Note that, changing only `:logger` level to `:info`, `:warn` or `:error` will silent `:json` too.
