A Game of JSON

Updated June 26, 2018

Code

I just found this cool dataset that contains characters and other entities from the Game of Thrones series of books. I thought it would be interesting to play with the data set and show how to read in JSON using the Cheshire library.

Code is available: lispcast/a-game-of-json

You can checkout the code in your local repo with this command:

$CMD git clone https://github.com/lispcast/a-game-of-json.git
$CMD cd a-game-of-json

Reading and writing edn (Extensible Data Notation)

21 min

Extensible Data Notation (edn) is a cross-platform, cross-language data format. It is basically a standardization of Clojure's literal data syntax. It has most of the data types you're used to using in Clojure (maps, keywords, sets, etc). In addition, it lets you define new semantic types by tagging other literals with symbols. For instance, dates are represented with strings (in ISO format) tagged with the symbol inst.

In this lesson, we explore how to read and write edn, including custom data types.
