What is JSON to Elm?

It converts JSON data into Elm types. It identifies types and structure, creating the necessary boilerplate for working with JSON in Elm applications, ensuring total type safety.

Why use JSON to Elm?

Elm is a purely functional language where JSON decoding is explicit. This tool simplifies the process by generating the decoders for you, reducing boilerplate and potential runtime errors.

How to use JSON to Elm

Input your JSON to generate Elm type aliases and JSON decoders/encoders. It handles nested structures by creating multiple types and corresponding decoders.

Example Output

type alias User =
    { id : Int
    , name : String
    , email : String
    , isActive : Bool
    }

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Decoder Complexity

Fix: Highly nested JSON can result in complex decoders. The tool breaks these down into smaller, manageable functions.
