[erlang-questions] json to map

[Garrett Smith]

Doesn't seem very challenging :)

But that's a valid point - a good programmer cheats!

Another cheat would be to use a JSON parsing library. Again not
particularly challenging, but it does send you down the road of "find
an existing solution to a problem, rather than roll your own".

For serious fun, write a parser! You could roll your own, or again
cheat by using Erlang's pretty darn good yecc module:
