title: Extract Json values as Map with lift-json
body: <p>The documentation for lift-json suggests that I should be able to call 'values' to get my current JObject structure as a vanilla Scala Map. This approach is not working for me, as the return type of 'values' is json.Values rather than a Map as the examples show. What am I doing wrong? Is there an implicit import necessary to accomplish this conversion?</p>
  
  <pre><code>scala&gt; val json = parse("""{"k1":"v1","k2":"v2"}""")         
  json: net.liftweb.json.package.JValue = JObject(List(JField(k1,JString(v1)), JField(k2,JString(v2))))
  
  scala&gt; json.values                                  
  res4: json.Values = Map((k1,v1), (k2,v2))
  
  scala&gt; res4.get("k1")                                        
  &lt;console&gt;:18: error: value get is not a member of json.Values
     res4.get("k1")
  </code></pre>
