Hi,
One idiom for deconstructing a Map is to use a pattern match:
myMap.map { case (k, v) => ... }.
For instance:
val json = ("books" ->
books.map { b =>
("id" -> b.id) ~
("tags" -> b.tags.map { case (k, v) => JField(k, v) }.toList)
}
)
Note, the explicit call toList is required since JsonDSL provides an
implicit conversion from List[JField] to JObject (not from Iterable
[JField]).
Cheers Joni
