Changes for version 0.06 - 2026-04-18
- Added mb::JSON::stringify(): alias for encode(), symmetric with mb::JSON::parse() which is an alias for decode(). Mirrors JSON.stringify() in JavaScript.
- Added mb::JSON::parse(): documented as alias for decode() alongside the existing decode() implementation (parse was present since 0.03).
- Revised doc/ cheat sheets (all 21 languages): parse and stringify now appear as independent sections [ 3. ] and [ 5. ] with proper sequential numbering; formerly [ 3b. ] notation retired.
- Added t/1004-stringify.t: test suite for stringify() (40 tests).
- Added t/1003-boolean.t ok 20-21: stringify(true/false) coverage.
- Added t/9001-load.t ok 5-10: can() checks for all 6 public functions (decode/parse/encode/stringify/true/false); plan 13->14.
- Added t/9060-readme.t: FUNCTIONS added to required README sections; plan 11->12.
- Added t/1001-decode.t ok 1: defined check for parse() alias.
- Added t/1002-encode.t ok 1: defined check for stringify() alias.
- Revised eg/01_decode.pl: added parse() example alongside decode().
- Revised eg/02_encode.pl: added stringify() example alongside encode().
- Added eg/03_parse.pl: parse() usage example (alias for decode()).
- Added eg/04_stringify.pl: stringify() usage example (alias for encode()).
- Fixed lib/mb/JSON.pm POD: LIMITATIONS now mentions stringify() alongside encode() for circular reference warning; ENCODING RULES and DECODING RULES sections note their aliases; BOOLEAN VALUES mentions stringify() parity.
