Functions

pr-str

(pr-str val)

Returns a string representation of val in EDN format. Equivalent to clojure.core/pr-str for all standard EDN-compatible types.

---

read-string

(read-string s)
(read-string opts s)

Reads one EDN value from string s and returns it.

Accepts an optional opts map as the first argument: :readers - map from tag symbol to handler function; merged with data-readers :default - fn of [tag-name value] called for tags with no registered handler

Uses data-readers (from clojure.core) for globally registered tag handlers. Built-in tags: #inst (returns JS Date), #uuid (returns string passthrough).

Rejects Clojure-specific syntax that is not part of the EDN spec: quote ('), syntax-quote (`), unquote (~), #(...), @deref, ^metadata, #'var, #"regex", and #:ns{...} namespaced maps.
