2711 :: Meaning of let msg = %* {"message": "Hello World"} ?

  Hi!

  In the asynhttp server documentation, the example code has this:

  
  let msg = %* {"message": "Hello World"}
  Run

  but that doesn't seem to compile, at least not for me.

  I just get:

  Error: undeclared identifier: '%*'

  What's up?

  Thanks Luke

  Where did you find this example?

  The %* operator is defined in the json module (doc). It just creates a JSON element based on the key/values specified.

  The example is here:

  in the section titled "Examples" :-)
