Yup. There are a bazillion libraries now trying to pretend to make it look like it's easy to deal with JSON in Elm.
An online converter is definitely not something I would advertise for a "production-ready highly productive amazing pragmatic language to be used in a serious company"
It's introduction is: "You know how it takes so much effort to produce even the simplest of programs when JSON parsing is involved? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could breeze right on by that step and get on with writing your business logic? This is what you’ll get with The JSON Survival Kit, a short ebook on JSON decoding in Elm."
And Go has an entire book on how to use the database/sql package. Does that mean the database/sql package is hard? Is React difficult because there is online courses? Is Bootstrap? Of course not.
It is no different from using a code generator for anything. Json2elm is designed to _help you_ write decoders, not replace decoders. Once you know how to write them, json2elm is mostly useful for generating boilerplate.
