Get results easily with Parser

For one random user:

res = RandomUser.Random.one |> RandomUser.Parser.results |> RandomUser.Parser.parse
res.gender
res.picture["large"]

For multiple random users:

users = RandomUser.Random.multiple(2) |> RandomUser.Parser.results
Enum.map(users, fn u ->
  user = RandomUser.Parser.parse(u)
  large_pic = user.picture["large"]
end)
