jsondecode Function

jsondecode interprets a given string as JSON, returning a representation of the result of decoding that string.

The JSON encoding is defined in RFC 7159.

This function maps JSON values to Packer language values in the following way:

JSON type	Packer type
String	`string`
Number	`number`
Boolean	`bool`
Object	`object(...)` with attribute types determined per this table
Array	`tuple(...)` with element types determined per this table
Null	The Packer language `null` value

The Packer language automatic type conversion rules mean that you don't usually need to worry about exactly what type is produced for a given value, and can just use the result in an intuitive way.

Examples

> jsondecode("{\"hello\": \"world\"}")
{
  "hello" = "world"
}
> jsondecode("true")
true

jsonencode performs the opposite operation, encoding a value as JSON.
