VERSION

version 0.0006

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
use autobox::JSON;
say {name => 'Jim', age => 34}->encode_json;
# {"name":"Jim","age":46}
my $person = '{"name":"Jim","age":46}'->decode_json
# {name => 'Jim', age => 34}
my $serialized_person = $person->encode_json;
# {"name":"Jim","age":46}
# works on arrays too
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]->encode_json;
            
          

METHODS

encode_json

This method behaves the same as "encode_json" in JSON.

encode_json_pretty

This method is identical to "encode_json", except that it also "prettifies" the output, making it easier for us mortals to read. This is useful especially when dumping a JSON structure to something reasonable for, say, debug or other purposes.

It is functionally the same as:

            

              
              
JSON->new->utf8->canonical->pretty->encode($ref)
            
          

decode_json

This method behaves the same as "decode_json" in JSON.

DEPRECIATED METHODS

to_json (depreciated)

This method behaves the same as "to_json" in JSON.

This method is depreciated because the JSON documentation itself prefers encode_json.

from_json (depreciated)

This method behaves the same as "from_json" in JSON.

This method is depreciated as the JSON documentation itself prefers decode_json.
