title: How do you serialize a Map to JSON in Scala?
body: <p>So I have a Map in Scala like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>val m = Map[String, String](
      "a" -&gt; "theA",
      "b" -&gt; "theB",
      "c" -&gt; "theC",
      "d" -&gt; "theD",
      "e" -&gt; "theE"
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I want to serialize this structure into a JSON string using lift-json.</p>
  
  <p>Do any of you know how to do this?</p>
