What is the most mature JSON library for Erlang?

Question

I wanted to use YAML but there is not a single mature YAML library for Erlang. I know there are a few JSON libraries, but was wondering which is the most mature?

Answer 1

My favourite is mochijson2. The API is straightforward, it's fast enough for me (I never actually bothered to benchmark it though, to be honest--I'm mostly en- and de-coding small packets), and I've been using it in a stable "production server" for a year now or so. Just remember to install mochinum as well, mochijson2 uses it to encode large numbers, if you miss it, and you'll try to encode a large number, it will throw an exception.
