An [EDN](https://github.com/edn-format/edn) reader and writer for chicken scheme.
Installation: `chicken-install edn`
Data type conversions
---------------------
* All kinds of numbers get converted to Scheme numbers, precision suffixes (N and M) get ignored.
* Keywords :keyword get converted to chicken scheme keywords keyword:.
* Maps get converted to SRFI 69 hashtables.
* Vectors are srfi-4 vectors.
* true = #t, false = #f, nil = '()
Missing reader functionality
----------------------------
Should you notice missing functionality of the reader, plesase use [the issues page](https://bitbucket.org/zilti/edn/issues?status=new&status=open) to report
it and, if possible, provide a minimal test case.
API
---
* Transforming EDN into Chicken: `(with-input-from-port <port> read-edn)`
* Transforming Chicken into EDN: `(with-output-to-port <port> (write-edn <datastructure>))`
* Using reader tags: the library contains a public a-list `tag-handlers`. To register a handler, add an a-list entry where the key is the tag without `\#` and as a keyword, and the value a one-argument procedure.
* **0.5.1**: Small compatibility improvements: "/" now starts a symbol as well, and "," is treated as whitespace.
* **0.5**: Reader tag support.
* **0.4**: Complete rewrite. Only relies on R7RS, and SRFI 1, 4, 69 and 88. Uses ports. Reads and writes EDN.
* **0.3**: EDN tags, including special forms, work. #inst and #uuid both get read as strings. Add nil. Add number prefixes. Add no-space-required to #_ tag.
* **0.2.1**: Can read EDN-files and -strings. EDN tags are not working yet.
* **0.2**: Can read EDN-strings with one top-level data structure.
