Records are a compile time construct, so in order to parse as records you'd need to define the records in advance and provide a schema and record definition to the parser for the document. This could be done in a layer above the JSON parser.<div><br></div><div>Maps are the data structure you're looking for. Most of the JSON implementations provide backwards compatibility to versions of Erlang before maps, so other data structures (such as dicts or proplists) are more common.<br><br>On Wednesday, July 15, 2015, Kannan <<a href="mailto:vasdeveloper@gmail.com">vasdeveloper@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Is any of them supporting Erlang 'record' as their base for encoding/decoding.
