SYNOPSIS

use Acme::IsItJSON 'is_it_json';

DESCRIPTION

Not sure if your variable is a Perl data structure or a JSON string?

This Perl module can help.

FUNCTIONS

is_it_json

Given a variable containing something which you are not sure about, and it may or may not be JSON or a Perl data structure, feed it to this routine. This module uses support vector machines running on an OCAML cluster backed up by a Node pipeline in an S3 cloud to distinguish JSON from Perl data structures.
