NAME

JSORB::Types - A set of Moose types used in JSORB

DESCRIPTION

This is basically the type library for JSORB, if you are diving into JSORB at a deeper level you should read the source.

JSORB right now specifically disallows the following types; ScalarRef, CodeRef, RegexpRef, GlobRef and Object. This is primarily because these types are not easily serialziable with JSON. Below is the type tree that JSORB supports and is recommended.

Unit
Any
  Item
      Bool
      Maybe[`a]
      Undef
      Defined
          Value
              Num
                  Int
              Str
          Ref
              ArrayRef[`a]
              HashRef[`a]

This includes parameterized ArrayRef[`a] and HashRef[`a] types as well as the Maybe[`a] type. We add one new type, which is the Unit type which is used to represent a void type (Ocaml and Haskell users will recognize this) for use in procedure parameters and return values.

BUGS

All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT.
