Why Not a Function #28: parse-num

(import '[goog.i18n NumberFormat] '[goog.i18n.NumberFormat Format])

(defn parse-num [s] (.parse (NumberFormat. Format.DECIMAL) s))

parse-num is a thin ClojureScript wrapper around Google Closure’s NumberFormat allowing parsing of decimal numbers using a current Google Closure locale.

(parse-num "1,000.23")
=> 1000.23
