Open Source Elixir JSON Software

A blazing-fast JSON parser and generator in pure Elixir. The parser and generator are at least twice as fast as other Elixir/Erlang libraries (most notably Poison). The performance is comparable to jiffy, which is implemented in C as a NIF. Jason is usually only twice as slow. Both the parser and generator fully conform to RFC 8259 and ECMA 404 standards. The parser is tested using JSONTestSuite. The package can be installed by adding jason to your list of dependencies in mix.exs. Jason follows the JSON spec more strictly, for example, it does not allow unescaped newline characters in JSON strings - e.g. "\"\n\"" will produce a decoding error. No support for decoding into data structures (the as: option). No built-in encoders for MapSet, Range and Stream. No support for encoding arbitrary structs - explicit implementation of the Jason.Encoder protocol is always required. Different pretty-printing customization options (default pretty: true works the same).
