Defines the specification for a JSON codec.

ExAws supports the use of your favorite JSON codec provided it fulfills this specification. Poison fulfills this spec without modification, and is the default.

See the contents of ExAws.JSON.JSX for an example of an alternative implementation.

Example

Here for example is the code required to make HTTPotion comply with this spec.

In your config you would do:

config :ex_aws,
  json_codec: ExAws.JSON.JSX

defmodule ExAws.JSON.JSX do
  @behaviour ExAws.JSON.Codec

  @moduledoc false

  def encode!(%{} = map) do
    map
    |> Map.to_list
    |> :jsx.encode
    |> case do
      "[]" -> "{}"
      val -> val
    end
  end

  def encode(map) do
    {:ok, encode!(map)}
  end

  def decode!(string) do
    :jsx.decode(string)
    |> Enum.into(%{})
  end

  def decode(string) do
    {:ok, decode!(string)}
  end
end
