Hi,<br>
<br>
I've read about some json handling functions in Joe Armstrong's book<br>
(Programming Erlang, 2nd Edition, Page 84): maps:to_json/1,<br>
maps:from_json/1 and maps:safe_from_json/1.<br>
<br>
Now, In erlang shell, I see this. No such functions.<br>
<br>
> maps:module_info(exports).<br>
[{fold,3},<br>
{map,2},<br>
{size,1},<br>
{without,2},<br>
{module_info,0},<br>
{module_info,1},<br>
{values,1},<br>
{update,3},<br>
{remove,2},<br>
{put,3},<br>
{new,0},<br>
{merge,2},<br>
{keys,1},<br>
{is_key,2},<br>
{from_list,1},<br>
{get,2},<br>
{find,2},<br>
{to_list,1}]<br>
<br>
Are these json functions planned to be released in final 17.0?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Zsolt<br>
