Encode requests and decode responses as JSON.

This middleware requires Jason (or other engine) as dependency.

Remember to add {:jason, ">= 1.0"} to dependencies. Also, you need to recompile Tesla after adding :jason dependency:

mix deps.clean tesla
mix deps.compile tesla

If you only need to encode the request body or decode the response body, you can use Tesla.Middleware.EncodeJson or Tesla.Middleware.DecodeJson directly instead.

Examples

defmodule MyClient do
  use Tesla

  plug Tesla.Middleware.JSON # use jason engine
  # or
  plug Tesla.Middleware.JSON, engine: JSX, engine_opts: [strict: [:comments]]
  # or
  plug Tesla.Middleware.JSON, engine: Poison, engine_opts: [keys: :atoms]
  # or
  plug Tesla.Middleware.JSON, decode: &JSX.decode/1, encode: &JSX.encode/1
end
