NAME
Data::Sah::Filter::perl::Str::try_decode_json - JSON-decode if we can,
otherwise leave string as-is
VERSION
This document describes version 0.003 of
Data::Sah::Filter::perl::Str::try_decode_json (from Perl distribution
Data-Sah-Filter-perl-Str-try_decode_json), released on 2022-08-25.
SYNOPSIS
Using in Sah schema's "prefilters" (or "postfilters") clause
["str","prefilters",[["Str::try_decode_json"]]]
Using with Data::Sah:
use Data::Sah qw(gen_validator);
my $schema = ["str","prefilters",[["Str::try_decode_json"]]];
my $validator = gen_validator($schema);
if ($validator->($some_data)) { print 'Valid!' }
Using with Data::Sah:Filter directly:
use Data::Sah::Filter qw(gen_filter);
my $filter = gen_filter([["Str::try_decode_json"]]);
my $filtered_value = $filter->($some_data);
Sample data and filtering results
undef # valid, unchanged (Unfiltered)
"foo" # valid, unchanged (Unquoted becomes as-is)
"[1," # valid, unchanged (Misquoted becomes as-is)
"\"foo\"" # valid, becomes "foo" (Quoted string becomes string)
"[1,2]" # valid, becomes [1,2] (Quoted array becomes array)
"null" # valid, becomes undef (Bare null keyword becomes undef)
DESCRIPTION
This rule is sometimes convenient if you want to accept unquoted string
or a data structure (encoded in JSON). This means, compared to just
decoding from JSON, you don't have to always quote your string. But
beware of traps like the bare values "null", "true", "false" becoming
undef/1/0 in Perl instead of string literals, because they can be
JSON-decoded.

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
