Introducing ClojureWerkz Money

TL;DR

ClojureWerkz Money is a tiny Clojure library for working with money and currencies. It is built on top of Joda Money. Money is small, easy to use, integrates with Monger and Cheshire.

Money, Money, Money

Many ClojureWerkz projects take advantage of existing mature JVM libraries. Today we introduce another library to this club: Money. Money is a very thin layer on top of Joda Money, an excellent money library from the creator of Joda Time.

  • Conversion between currencies
  • Support for multiple rounding modes
  • Parsing of strings (e.g. USD 20)

  • Cheshire integration
  • Monger integration
