ErlangTerm

(De-)serialize Julia data in Erlang's external term format

ErlangTerm.jl teaches Julia to talk to BEAM-based languages (Erlang, Elixir, ...) in their native tongue, the Erlang external term format. The following data types are supported:

• Int <-> Integer
• Float64 <-> Float
• Symbol <-> Atom
• Tuple <-> Tuple
• Array <-> List
• Dict <-> Map

The package can be installed through Julia's package manager:

julia> import Pkg; Pkg.add("ErlangTerm")

using ErlangTerm

# Take a Julia data structure...
d = Dict(:erlang => Dict(:id => 1, :greeting => "Hello, Erlang!"),
         :elixir => Dict(:id => 2, :greeting => "Hello, Elixir!"))

# ...serialize it...
binary = serialize(d)

# ...and deserialize it!
d1 = deserialize(binary)
