Props: A DSL for Dealing with JSON-like Structures in Erlang
Dealing with JSON in Erlang is not nearly as seamless as in JavaScript. Using existing tooling from the Erlang ecosystem, I've created a new and, most importantly, easy to use data structure for working with JSON-like property structures. Learn how to use props for your own projects, and also you can leverage tools like Neotoma to make your own DSLs.
Talk objectives: Introduce Props library and present how it was made and how others can make their own DSLs in Erlang.
Target audience: Erlang developers who work with JSON-like structures or who are interested in DSLs.
