In fact never user *print-dup* when using edn to read back data
*print-dup* will output type and meta information that will not play well
with edn
user=> (binding [*print-dup* true] (pr-str (sorted-map :z 5 :a 1)))
"#=(clojure.lang.PersistentTreeMap/create {:a 1, :z 5})"
This "#=" with raise a RuntimeException because there is no dispatch on "="
in edn
Not using *print-dup* may lose some important information on data
user=> (binding [*print-dup* false] (pr-str (sorted-map :z 5 :a 1)))
"{:a 1, :z 5}" ;; this is a plain hash map
Just take care of providing your own custom tags to be able to read data
correctly
;; clumsy example
user=> (binding [*print-dup* false] (str "#treemap " (pr-str (sorted-map
:z 5 :a 1))))
"#treemap {:a 1, :z 5}"
You can then read it back with your custom reader
user=> (edn/read-string {:readers {'treemap #(merge (sorted-map) %)}}
(binding [*print-dup* false] (str "#treemap " (pr-str
(sorted-map :z 5 :a 1)))))
{:a 1, :z 5} ;; this is a sorted map
Seems like it should be possible to easily provide default printers and
readers for custom tags & data...
Cheers
