Getting Started

Reading

In order to read Transit encoded JSON you need to construct a reader:

(ns try-transit
  (:require [cognitect.transit :as t]))

(def r (t/reader :json))

Currently :json is the only type of reader available. The above will construct a reader instance which has only one method, read.

Reading a Transit array encoding will produce a persistent vector:

(def v (t/read r "[1,2,3]")) ;; [1 2 3]

Reading a Transit map encoding will produce a persistent map.

(def m (t/read r "{\"~:foo\":\"bar\"}")) ;; {:foo "bar"}
