Decode JSON Nested Objects
I’ll preface that I am very new to Elixir. I am trying to decode a paginated JSON response from my API but I am a bit lost on exactly how to implement the decoding.
This is what the top-level JSON response looks like:
_embedded:
collection_currently:
0: {...}
1: {...}
2: {...}
...
_links:
first: {...}
self: {...}
...
page:
size: 4
totalElemnts: 28
totalPages: 7
number: 7
I’ve successfully decoded a single collection_currently object using the code from the Poison README. My question now is how exactly do I go about decoding this whole response? I’ve looked at this question which is close to what I’m trying to do, but as I said I’m new to Elixir and don’t fully understand the answer.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

You can use :jsn.as_map/1 (jsn | Hex)
~s(
{
"fields": {
"summary": "Bug!",
"issuetype": {
"id": "10005"
},
"project": {
"key": "BUG"
},
"description": {
"type": "doc",
"version": 1,
"content": [
{
"type": "paragraph",
"content": [
{
"text": "Description - Bug Found",
"type": "text"
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
)
|> Jason.decode!
|> :jsn.as_map
end
%{
"fields" => %{
"description" => %{
"content" => [
%{
"content" => [
%{"text" => "Description - Bug Found", "type" => "text"}
],
"type" => "paragraph"
}
],
"type" => "doc",
"version" => 1
},
"issuetype" => %{"id" => "10005"},
"project" => %{"key" => "BUG"},
"summary" => "Bug!"
}
}
