The Json type combines both the Json Decoder and Encoder.

Returns the decoder of a Json type

Returns the encoder of a Json type

Returns the encoder for a List of a Json type

Returns the decoder for a List of a Json type

import Json.Decode as D


"true" |> (bool |> decode |> D.decodeString) --> Ok True

import Json.Decode as D


"1" |> (int |> decode |> D.decodeString) --> Ok 1

import Json.Decode as D


"3.14" |> (float |> decode |> D.decodeString) --> Ok 3.14

import Json.Decode as D


"\"Hello World\"" |> (string |> decode |> D.decodeString) --> Ok "Hello World"

import Json.Decode as D
import Dict exposing (Dict)


"{\"value\":42}"
|> (int |> dict |> decode |> D.decodeString) --> Ok (Dict.singleton "value" 42)

import Json.Decode as D


type alias Obj =
    { value : Int
    , name : String
    }


"{\"value\":42,\"name\":\"Elm\"}"
|> ( object Obj
    |> with "value" int .value
    |> with "name" string .name
    |> toJson
    |> decode
    |> D.decodeString
    )
--> Ok {value=42,name="Elm"}

First gets the value, then either inserts a new value or does nothing

Use delete if you want to delete an element.

There is a max limit of 100kb that can be inserted at once. Therefore never try to update a full list of object, rather send an seperate update/delete file for every entry of the list.

Gets an Element

Returns Nothing if the element does not exist.

Inserts a new Element.

Do not use this function to update fields, use update instead.

There is a max limit of 100kb that can be inserted at once. Therefore never try to update a full list of object, rather send an seperate update/delete file for every entry of the list.

Deletes an Element.

Will be successfull even if the content is empty.
