Encode Expression

Since we can decode objects we need to have a way to encode them into JavaScript objects as well.

The encode expression is the way to do that:

encode { name: "Bob" } /* Object */
encode variable /* Object */

The encode expression tries to encode a typed object into a JavaScript object ( Object type in Mint), in case that it's impossible to do that you will get a nice error message.

The general rule is that you can decode anything that you can encode.

Encoding data is useful when you want to convert it to JSON:

(encode { name: "Bob" })
|> Json.stringify()

/* { "name": "Bob"} */
