[erlang-questions] json handling map functions in erlang 17

[Tristan Sloughter]

I ported jsx to maps [1]https://github.com/tsloughter/jsx/tree/maps



But I haven't rebased against the latest jsx in a while...

I do touch on the subject in the EEP
([2]https://github.com/erlang/eep/blob/master/eeps/eep-0043.md) under
"protocol construction".


However, it is encouraged that erlang json libraries make use of maps.

Hi,



I've read about some json handling functions in Joe Armstrong's book

(Programming Erlang, 2nd Edition, Page 84): maps:to_json/1,

maps:from_json/1 and maps:safe_from_json/1.



Now, In erlang shell, I see this. No such functions.



> maps:module_info(exports).

[{fold,3},

 {map,2},

 {size,1},

 {without,2},

 {module_info,0},

 {module_info,1},

 {values,1},

 {update,3},

 {remove,2},

 {put,3},

 {new,0},

 {merge,2},

 {keys,1},

 {is_key,2},

 {from_list,1},

 {get,2},

 {find,2},

 {to_list,1}]



Are these json functions planned to be released in final 17.0?



Thanks,



Zsolt
