Decoding JSON in Elm: From Basics to Advanced Techniques

Learn how to build powerful decoders that convert raw JSON into robust Elm data types, starting from simple string and integer decoders to advanced nested object transformations. You'll master key techniques like using Json.Decode module functions, combining decoders with map2, map3, and handling complex nested structures, ensuring type safety and eliminating runtime JSON parsing errors in your Elm application. Will also use a third party package to make decoding even easier.
