By default, the bean function behaves like Clojure’s in that it is not recursive:
(bean #js {:a 1, :obj #js {:x 13, :y 17} :vec #js [1 2 3]})
;; => {:a 1, :obj #js {:x 13, :y 17} :vec #js [1 2 3]}Beans can be made to behave more like js->clj by supplying :recursive true:
(bean #js {:a 1, :obj #js {:x 13, :y 17} :vec #js [1 2 3]} :recursive true)
;; => {:a 1, :obj {:x 13, :y 17} :vec [1 2 3]}The ->clj converter, when applied to JavaScript objects, automatically supplies :recursive true, so the above can be simplified to
(->clj #js {:a 1, :obj #js {:x 13, :y 17} :vec #js [1 2 3]})
;; => {:a 1, :obj {:x 13, :y 17} :vec [1 2 3]}
