Re: [web-devel] when we switch to aeson, perhaps a QQ for JSON..

Is aeson working out for you? It looks like a more flexible json generator was just released [1], including support for generating converters in both directions. Yesod will definitely still be sticking with aeson, but we aim to make the usage of alternatives convenient.

Yeah, I think this would make sense for *some* kind of DSL. I'm not sure what exactly it should look like yet, but this is definitely worth a discussion.

This is nice:

If I'm not mistaken, text-json-qq is only for generating output, not for parsing JSON back into Haskell. I think if we go the route of a DSL, we should make sure to support both.
