[erlang-questions] Testing api with jsongen and quickcheck

[Mark Bruch]

Yes it's an unfortunate name conflict.

I'm want to write Erlang tests against my json api that I also have
written in Erlang. Of course I could skip testing the json parsing and
just shoot Erlang messages at it, but it feels like that should be
plan B.
