Lift-json extract json with 'type' field into a case class

Question

I am trying to extract JSON into a case class using lift-json. Here is my case class:

case class Person(name: String, age: Int)

Here is the json

{ "name": "Some Name", "age": 24, type: "Student" }

How can I extract the type field into an instance Person?

json.extract[Person]

What is the error message you get? Have you tried it with: `case class Person(name: String, age: Int, \`type\`: String)`. Obviously `type` is a reserved word in Scala, but you can work around that with back-ticks. — Kipton Barros, Sep 18 '11 at 16:38

Backticks allow you to use reserved names.

case class Person(name:String, age:Int, `type`:String)
