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

Here is another method of accessing the data. Uses records syntax for ease of use.

-record(struct, {lst=[]}).

A = <<"{\"job\": {\"id\": \"1\"}}">>,
Struct = mochijson2:decode(A), 
Job = proplists:get_value(<<"job">>, Struct#struct.lst),
Id = proplists:get_value(<<"id">>, Job#struct.lst),

Does exactly the same thing as the answer using records instead. Just another option when using mochijson2. I personally like this syntax better.
