What Are Elixir Structs?
Elixir structs with JSON encoding enable type-safe data handling in Elixir applications, particularly in Phoenix web frameworks and distributed systems using the BEAM VM.
Elixir JSON structs are essential for:
- Web APIs: JSON response formatting in Phoenix controllers.
- Data Pipelines: Transforming JSON data in ETL processes.
- Microservices: Type-safe message passing between services.
How to Use
- Paste your JSON: Copy a sample JSON response from your API or editor.
- Click Convert: Press the button to process your input.
- Review Output: Your result appears instantly in the output panel.
- Copy to Project: Use the Copy button to grab the result and paste it into your project.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are nested objects handled?
Nested objects generate their own named type definition, referenced from the parent type. This keeps your code organized and reusable.
How are arrays typed?
Arrays infer their element type from the first item. Arrays of objects generate a collection type of the corresponding object type.
Is this tool safe to use?
Absolutely. This tool operates 100% client-side. Your JSON data never leaves your browser and is processed locally. We do not store, track, or upload your data.
