In fact never user *print-dup* when using edn to read back data
*print-dup* will output type and meta information that will not play well with edn user=> (binding [*print-dup* true] (pr-str (sorted-map :z 5 :a 1))) "#=(clojure.lang.PersistentTreeMap/create {:a 1, :z 5})" This "#=" with raise a RuntimeException because there is no dispatch on "=" in edn Not using *print-dup* may lose some important information on data user=> (binding [*print-dup* false] (pr-str (sorted-map :z 5 :a 1))) "{:a 1, :z 5}" ;; this is a plain hash map Just take care of providing your own custom tags to be able to read data correctly ;; clumsy example user=> (binding [*print-dup* false] (str "#treemap " (pr-str (sorted-map :z 5 :a 1)))) "#treemap {:a 1, :z 5}" You can then read it back with your custom reader user=> (edn/read-string {:readers {'treemap #(merge (sorted-map) %)}} (binding [*print-dup* false] (str "#treemap " (pr-str (sorted-map :z 5 :a 1))))) {:a 1, :z 5} ;; this is a sorted map Seems like it should be possible to easily provide default printers and readers for custom tags & data...
