How do I make a GET request and parse the json output into a elisp structure? #183

Hello

This library looks like what I need for a project.

I just learnt elisp today and I couldn't understand the code examples. I want to make a GET request and parse the json output I get into a elisp data structure. Like a dictionary/hash table/associative array.

How could I do this?

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I just started learning elisp today.

The README example already parses the json response into an elisp "associated list."

I would spend at least a few hours playing with the builtin lisp interaction mode. There is unfortunately a lot to know.

The prevailing venues for asking elisp questions would seem emacs.stackexchange.com or reddit, but not here. Thanks for your interest.
