NAME

JSON::Any - Wrapper Class for the myriad JSON classes.

VERSION

Version 1.00

SYNOPSIS

This module will provide a coherent API to bring together the various JSON modules currently on CPAN.

    use JSON::Any;

	my $j = JSON::Any->new;

	$json = $j->objToJson({foo=>'bar', baz=>'quux'});

	$obj = $j->jsonToObj($json);

or without creating an object:

$json = JSON::Any->objToJson({foo=>'bar', baz=>'quux'});

$obj = JSON::Any->jsonToObj($json);

JSON::Any currently only implements converting back and forth between JSON and hashrefs. There is considerably more functionality in many of the JSON modules. Ability to access these will be provided in subsequent versions of JSON::Any.

On load, JSON::Any will find a valid JSON module in your @INC by looking for them in this order:

JSON::XS 
JSON 
JSON::DWIW 
JSON::Syck

And loading the first one it finds.

You may change the order by specifying it on the use JSON::Any line:

use JSON::Any qw(DWIW Syck XS JSON);

Specifying an order that is missing one of the modules will prevent that module from being used:

use JSON::Any qw(DWIW XS JSON);

This will check in that order, and will never attempt to load JSON::Syck.

FUNCTIONS

BUGS

Please report any bugs or feature requests to bug-json-any at rt.cpan.org, or through the web interface at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=JSON-Any. I will be notified, and then you'll automatically be notified of progress on your bug as I make changes.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This module came about after discussions on irc.perl.org about the fact that there were now six separate JSON perl modules with different interfaces.

In the spirit of Class::Any, I have created JSON::Any with the considerable help of Chris 'Perigrin' Prather, and Matt 'mst' Trout.
