Hi,
I think that multimethods will fit better in my case, since I have more
than three ID's to handle.
Thank you all for the answers.

+1 For multimethods, don't hardcode it if you don'tt have to.

A simple translation to condp:
(defn parse-group [group-identifier line]
(condp = group-identifier
"ID1" (handle-id1 line)
"ID2" (han
I'm surprised no one went for condp
(defn parse-group [group-identifier line]
(condp = group-identifier
"ID1" (handle-id1 line)
"ID2" (handle-id2 line)
"ID3" (handle-id3 line)
(handle-unknown-id line)))
or something like that...

In this case I prefer either:
(cond (= group-identifier "ID1")
(handle-id1 line)
(= group-identifier "ID2")
(handle-id2 line)
(= group-identifier "ID3")
(handle-id3 line))
Or just use core.match:
(match [group-identifier]
["ID1"

What is the better approach (or functional approach) to work with a code
like the below?
(defn parse-group [group-identifier line]
(when (= group-identifier "ID1")
(handle-id1 line))
(when (= group-identifier "
