Introduction

Thoth.Json is a library aiming to make it safe and easy to work with JSON.

It revolved around two concepts:

  • Decoding, which is the process of converting a JSON string into an F# type
  • Encoding, which is the process of converting an F# type into a JSON string

When referring to both decoder and encoder, we use the term coder

With Thoth.Json, you don't work directly from the JSON data, but instead describe what JSON you are expecting and if it is valid, then you can work with concrete F# types.

This allows to reports helpful errors, making it easy to spot errors and fix them.
