Decode JSON with mochijson2 in Erlang

Question

I have a var that has some JSON data:

A = <<\"{\\\"job\\\": {\\\"id\\\": \\\"1\\\"}}\">>. 

Using mochijson2, I decode the data:

Answer 1

The data is in {struct, proplist()} format, so here's what you do:

{struct, JsonData} = Struct,
{struct, Job} = proplists:get_value(<<"job">>, JsonData),
Id = proplists:get_value(<<"id">>, Job),

You can read more about proplists at: http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/proplists.html
