lift-json with scala 2.10

Question

I am following the tutorial here and stuck with json-lift dependency.

This is the dependency in my plugings.sbt file:

addSbtPlugin("net.liftweb" %% "lift-json" % "2.4")

The error is below and it seems to be something related to scala 10.2 not being compatible but anyone know of a way I can get lift-json working with scala 10.2 ?

Answer 1

If you are using scala 2.11, add the following to your build.sbt:

libraryDependencies += "net.liftweb" %% "lift-json" % "2.6+"

Answer 2

lift-json is not a plugin, but dependency

you should be able to use it by defining:

libraryDependencies += "net.liftweb" %% "lift-json" % "2.5.1"

in your build.sbt file

Answer 3

Sbt file using Scala 2.11.8:

name := "Basic Lift-JSON Demo"

version := "1.0"

scalaVersion := "2.11.8"

libraryDependencies += "net.liftweb" % "lift-webkit_2.11" % "3.1.0"
